Brake pads - OEM EBC Double H PA604/4HH - Sportsbikeshop

[IMORTAL_Indian]

Anyone used the company before... the stock OEM pads seem rather cheap??

And would they fit my '16 ??

Really good company to deal with mate, I've purchased a few things from them before and the service was excellent. Can't vouch for your pad selection, EBC are decent and been in the game a long time, it's all down to preference.

I use SBS Race or Road Sintered.. expect to pay from around ?50 upwards.

I've always used EBC double H pads on all my previous bikes and have always found them excellent
however I fitted then to my bike a few months ago and there great in the dry but very on / off in the wet ( not progressive )
Not sure why but never had a problem like that before

I've used this company a few times and would certainly recommend them.

Was caught in the pouring rain last night..... VERY spongey and very scary.... luckily manged to make it home, have a shower and change undies !!

Hence needing something more reliable in the rain !!

Do you recommend the SBS Road Sintered in the wet?

Amit, as per FB.
Riding in the wet you need to keep the brake system primed. You are told when learning to drive / ride that you should test your brakes if you go through a flood, heavy rain is the same just more consistent. If everything is cold and soaked the water acts as a lubricant and make stopping far more difficult.

To alleviate the issues you need to give yourself much bigger braking zones. Occasionally prime the system by very lightly braking when travelling in a straight line, maintaining speed...then apply the brakes properly when you actually need to stop.

The OEM pads are fine in the rain.

These are the level up from Brembo

HS870's from SBS are very good - great initial bite.

I replaced mine with these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-S1000...759491?hash=item1ea75ab8c3:g:ArAAAOSwosFUW0mc

Took a 100 miles or so to bed them in but once i'd done that they were great, still are.

I've used Sportsbikeshop quite a lot & had really good service over the years.
Not bought pads from them, but had EBC HH pads (from Busters/M&P on Ebay) on my GSXR & were better than the OEM ones.
