So my R7 is my first motorcycle I've owned. I plan on changing on the brake pads myself when the time comes. I don't ride recklessly in areas where i would need to stop on a dime


Firstly, I would like to ask for a recommendation for replacement pads that people have actually used for standard road use. I see some are extremely expensive and some seem so inexpensive I question the durability/ functionalityof them.


Secondly, If anyone could answer which are better? Sintered or Ceramic? I know for my car I usually just buy "middle ground price" ceramic pads, but I don't drive my car like a maniac either.

Thanks in advance
Ry

The stronger the performance, the shorter the life.

EBC HH pads are higher performance than stock (more initial grip, less fade when hot, and better feel) and are readily available. They are sintered pads. I use ceramic pads on my race bike but they aren't suitable for the street (need some heat in them to work) and they cost appreciably more.

Just go straight for Brembo Z04s. /sarcasm
