CB500/550 / Re: Brake pads recommends
« on: Today at 05:57:02 PM »
I found that the DS ones in my 400 soon started to sqeal - I replaced them with a standard road use Brembo Carbon/Ceramic pads that I tappered on the leading edges - back in 2022 Brembo's were £34 delivered.
I found the Brembo pads had a nice progressive feel to them. I now have them on my 500 as well.
Like the choice of tyres I think it's quite subjective and dependent on riding style - nothing wrong with the DS ones they function OK - no doubt the noise can be fixed with some tapering of the leading edge & disc face cleaning.
