    Is it me or has anyone else experienced issues removing the old tensioner. Managed to finally remove from the bike with a stud extractor. Decided to replace bolts with a ball ended Allen key stud for future removal if needed. Next question looking to change front discs and pads so looking for preferences and advice towards what people find good. Bike is used for commuting and roughly around 5 trackdays a year. By no means am i a fast rider just looking for something with good stopping power. Many thanks darren

    Can't go wrong with oem stuff, works well on track and lasts long on roads. If you were just doing trackdays I'd recommend sbs road/track as they have awesome bike and feel, but they do wear down quick quickly as a trade off

    Make sure you don't go for a cheap set of discs from Ebay - I've known a few people to have done this, and none of the discs have been completely true!

    I've been thinking of sticking with the ebc brand never really had an issue.
