rear brake pads
hi all,
Can anyone tell me if the brake pads fitted to the xtx and xtr are the same. (rear) ps i looked on the ebc link to their web site but couldnt find xt660 on there at all ????? Thanks for any help |
rear brake pads are the same on XTR/XTX, look in the parts catalogue and quote that part to EBC, rest assured that they will know what you are talking about because a few people have bought pads from them before.
Do a search on the forum for Parts Catalogue and it will bring up the thread which I can't remember where it is. Cheers |
super quick response !!! cheers mate

Time to change brake pads. I'm going down with the EBC . Which are the best for my XT600R ? The "Kevlar organic" or the "Double -H Sintered" and what is the difference between the materials?
|
ask Kev ;) :runaway:

What is EBC saying...
EBC Organic Brake Pads
Europe's first and only ECE R90 approved pad. These pads brake as well as sintered pads, as proved by R90 compliance.
Made in our own factory in Bristol, England, the EBC Kevlar� series has now been renamed NAO series or Non-Asbestos Organic, although we still use the famous Dupont Kevlar� fibre in conjunction with other high tech fibres that have come on the market. The NAO series are a superb all round value-for-money replacement for all levels of motorcycle and are still extremely popular with many riders who prefer the "feel" of organic pads.
NAO series are fully TUV tested and KBA certified and conform to the new ECE R90 brake regulations which are about to storm the European market. EBC is at the forefront of this technology and will be the first on the market to offer Reg. 90 approved pads and packaging. Most EBC organic pads have expansion grooves which reduce noise and prevent cracking. The aramid fibre compound with non-ferrous particles helps to prevent surface "scorching" under load.
EBC MX-S Series Pads
These pads are an excellent choice of all weather performance formulation for moto-X and ATV racing, with the highest HH rated friction for maximum stopping power and long lifetime. Although the new Extreme Pro sintered pads will also be a hot favourite amongst racers until 2008 MX-S pads have been very popular in cross country riding.
Being a sintered copper alloy MX-S pads also have excellent durability in sand, wet and mud riding and are at the same time less aggressive to the brake rotor.
FREE SLIDER PINS are included with most pad sets except those with multiple pin choices to replace worn bent or seized pin sets. The pin sets provided free in the EBC set are mostly external hex drive pins which are easier to remove than internal hexagon formed �allen� key or hex wrench internal type hardware. Diamond ground surface finish accelerates pad break-in.

EBC brake pads.Are they the wright ones?
Brake pads has just arrived at home. Can someone confirm that those are the correct ones for the
XT660R ?
http://i30.tinypic.com/2e3sv4n.jpg http://i26.tinypic.com/16j2fic.jpg this is the shape the workshop manual shows. http://i27.tinypic.com/zvcz82.jpg |
Have just ordered a set for Blackie - 4977 miles as at 2/9/08 - the last lot were new when I bought him last year with 3600 miles on the clock but I don't know what brand of chocolate they were made from - they didn't dare put a brand name on them.
Decided to go for the HH and see how they feel - if not good I can use them on Bluey whose discs get a lot hotter - but be careful of the torque effect as identified by Parkez and reported by nein in another thread. I wonder if the fatter tyre of the X conversion makes a difference or if it's all down to the more powerful brake lever assembly? EBC includes the 48 hour delivery in their discounted price for forum members so they should be here for next week-end. Quite looking forward to having front brake stronger than back brake again! |
The delivery guy swam up to my front door and gave me an electronic receipt device to sign and swam back to his van. I knew he was coming because of the online Parcelforce tracking system which told me that it had gone from Coventry - 32 miles north of me - to Oxford - 29 miles south of me - and would be delivered sometime today. That's the 48 hour delivery - maybe the 24 hour delivery goes direct.
The precipitation here is noticeable - not so much as South Wales - but noticeable. It may be a while before I can report on the efficacy of the EBC HH sintered pads. |
The EBC HH sintered bedded in nicely in the wet - I think the disc being kept cool by the rain saw to that. Stopping power close to perfect - not too keen and the little flex from the rubber brake line just enough to warn of approaching lock-up. I shall not be fitting braided hoses which I am sure would not give that warning.
Considering changing to dot 5 - a big step because I believe it's difficult to change back - silicone on all surfaces etc. but my son says it worked wonders for his TRX850 with Kevlar brake lines. Not convinced yet. It's one thing to stop a sports bike with an average rider weight but quite another stopping a heavier bike with a very much heavier rider and a smaller brake disc area. Even if I could do the maths I am not sure I would trust them to give me the confidence I want. If you have a strong grip then these pads can give 'the feel'. |
Cheers for the old discount, used it today to order me self a set of brake pads seeing as i think mine are near the limit of metal on metal!!!!:icon_compress:

I want to bring this thread back to the front of the section one as most people will probably not know about it and 2 to try and find out how long certain peoples pads are lasting.
The reason i ask is a while ago i had collosion with a white van and was told the forks are straight but you need a new disc, all was replaced and i was on my way. But ever since my front pads have always felt as if they where binding ever so slightly. Since the accident ive been through 2 sets of pads from new and both havent lasted as long as i'd hoped (set one around 8kmiles ordinary riding, set 2 4-5kmiles touring/fully loaded miles), ive the XTR model but i still think this is a little on the low side of milage for a new set of pads? So whats everyone else getting.:toothy3: |
I need to replace my front rotor sooner rather than later. The warping feeling I am getting during light braking is getting noticably worse so I need to order soon.
Looking around the net I have a few options. All for XTX 320mm rotor EBC direct with discount �137.65 delivered Motorcycle Road & Race �128.21 delivered Wemoto �161.94 plus delivery Ebay/China �80.44 delivered to uk shores, add the VAT & delivery to my door all in �109.03. These look nice but not sure on them (the Chinese option). http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/g...ldxtxrotor.jpg http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/g...ckxtxrotor.jpg Anyone got any thoughts before I buy on the Chinese discs? |
