Let me think.......
Re: Brake pads - elbrownos - 23-07-13
Good find, I won't need new front pads for a while but I've reserved 2 pairs for when I do. They look reasonable.
Re: Brake pads - Punkstig - 23-07-13
Good find but just to. Let people know it appears to be for reserve and collect, if they don't have them anywhere local to you then tough!
These are the brake pads I've got on atm and used for track, they're more expensive than the platinum series they do, personally I prefer the platinum for road riding but these are good!

Hi,
Can you guys hear the brake pads binding on the discs when you push the bike ?
Up to around 3 weeks ago I had OEM pads, replaced them with Nissin NS (they were rubbish), and three days ago I've put on SDS Street Excel - they brake quite well, but as soon as I've put them on the binding started - I can rotate the wheel without a problem, if I push it, it will stop after half a turn. I've checked, cleaned and put some rubber grease on the pistons - they seem to be fine, I was able to push all of them in with my fingers. I've also made sure that the master cylinder is not overfilled with brake fluid.
Is it normal for Sintered pads ?
Re: Brake pads - Dead Eye - 27-07-13
Since you've just put them on I'd suggest you need to wait for them to bed in properly with the discs which can take a while if you aren't aggressive with them
Re: Brake pads - elbrownos - 27-07-13
The dust seal is supposed to retract the piston slightly, so if your pistons aren't retracting I'd suspect the dust seals.

Hi Anarch,
After fitting my new SBS pads I had exactly the binding you described. Wheel would rotate by hand, but you could really hear the binding like a whoosing noise, and after a firm push the wheel would rotate only half a turn. Exactly as you describe.
Since it was the first time I'd fitted pads in ages I had em checked out at local Yam dealership and they said it was fine, binding wasn't too bad. They did do a little copper grease for me.
Mine have now freed up just fine, and it's since gone through an MOT with no advisories. With a bit of luck yours will be fine, but meanwhile take care in the wet!

I was worried that my discs might melt in the middle of Alps
