Best brake pads?
#1
I've searched, honestly but couldn't find much on the subject.
Off to the Nurburgring again in August & front pads are a bit low. Just wanted general opinion regards all round use for best new pads to go for.
Thanks in advance.

All i can say is that on all previous similar threads that most have said oem yamaha pads are the best.
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike

carbone lorraine (in a silver packet) get a big thumbs up from me.
consistant stopping for 38 laps of cadwell and still got 6mm left (started with 8)

Been using bendix MF pads on my gen II, and they're simply superb! I've not got them to fade, and they do get a lot of abuse!
They do a harder racing compound too for even hotter use :-[
Stop polishing it and ride the bloody thing!!

I've used Carbonne Lorraine pads on both a 600 and 1000 and found them excellent but, to be honest, there's very little between the popular options, and it comes down to what you get used to.

Okay thanks for all the replies folks. I'm guessing Yamaha pads would be expensive?
Another question, what's a good on line source for pads?
