Hi All, Id appreciate thoughts on replacing brake pads. I bought my MTS last August. The supplying trader made me aware that the front pads had been given an advisory on the last MOT in May 2018 by a main dealer. The supplying trader said in his opinion the pads were fine. Over the winter I normally carry out maintenance and cleaning (very therapeutic) I had the brakes apart for cleaning, there's approximately 3mm left on the front pads, enough for this season in my opinion. Come end of this season I will be looking to replace them. Logically, the thing to do is replace like for like. However, when you start looking, there's quite a bit of choice of makes and price. What's your thoughts experiences with alternate pads.
Personally I'd replace them but keep the ones you are taking out as a spare set but store in a dry place. I've tended to use ebc hh on most bikes and they do the job I expect. Brakes are the one part of the bike I tend to overspend if it gives me better results.
I've ordered original Brembo pads for my 1200S (DVT 15+) from carpimoto.it (Front: 07BB3793 x 2 pairs, Rear: 07BB0483 x 1 pair)
I really like the feel of Bendix MF pads with the M4 calipers - which I think is what you have on the dvt?
