Braking performance
#7
The brakes on the earlier Fazers as you say (R1) calpiers are brilliant but they're race calipers and need looking after (seals) and are very sensitive to pads, the other is the semi floating rivets are allowed to seize which give you the same lack of power and characteristics as warped discs.  This is common with MOT failure with the dealer/tester telling you, you've got warped disc and you need new ones... :'(      .


In my experience since early 2000's EBC lack feel, bite and are wooden, don't fit the caliper body properly allowing them to twist/jam, they're also way too abrasive and bugger discs, are many other well known types.  In my opinion SBS or OE are the best, they are a few others but they're harder to get hold of and you pay more.

Look after them fit good pads they will nail your eyeballs to the inside of your visor :eek :eek Big Grin :lol :lol :lol
