Front brake pads

(1/7) > >>

Honda enthusiast:
Been out on the K7 first ride all good no oil leaks or a breakdown but the front brake lever needs a big squeeze to get decent braking.
I'm using EBC organic fa013 pads, what do you guys recommend?

Thanks Hubert

The brakes on my 750K5 are not what I would describe as good. It takes a big handful to pull up quick. Don't think it's the pads, just the general design, after all they are 60's brakes.

In the imortal phrase " They are all like that sir"
At the time they were lightyears ahead of the twin leading shoe british bikes, now they lag way behind the newer stuff.
Things you can check to get the best out of it, in most common order of problems
1 swinging arm free on pivot pin
2 clean fluid
3 tiny return hole in master
4 piston surface and seal groove
5 collapsing flexi pipes

royhall:
I would usually agree Bryan except the drum on the front of my Black Bomber is superb, way better than the 750 or 350 disks
