Brake Pads

Post by taz_116 »

Just wondering if anyone on here is using Carbon Ceramic Pads on thier V-Rap. Is there any noticable improvement over standard Brembo pads?

i need to change all the pads on the bike so was thinking of treating it to them, but only if there is a major difference in breaking.

If you're talking about the standard pads (Brembo Frendo 222) using teflon pads
would be an improvement. I swapped mine to EBC HH pads and got a good
improvement, both in power and feel. The EBC part code for fronts is FA244HH. I don't know
the code for the rears because I didn't change them. hope that helps.

P.S. the pads were tested by a car driver overtaking around the first bend, as I was bedding
them in. They pulled the bike up fine !

Anyone have codes for the rear brakes? Been looking at replacing them, only to keep using the wrong ones (111 for Suzuki TL 2001 model [S maybe?]).
