I did my 18,000 km service the other day and thought I'd check the brake pads. They were about half worn. I wasn't that impressed with the pads, so checked Dale Walker's site (
www.holeshot.com). He recommends Ferodo pads: sintered on the front for good bite, and platinum on the rear for a softer initial application. I trust him, so that's what I went for.
The part numbers are:
| Sintered Front | Part No. FDB-574-ST |
|
| Platinum Rear | Part No. FDB-754-P |
They are easy to replace and I took the opportunity to replace the fluid and bleed the brakes (bought a basic brake bleeder kit which made it easier).
The fronts definitely bite harder and stop better. The rear seems fine as well, and they were a good choice:
