the addict Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 I had this problem with my 07 caby, the Braking pads worked well, think they are sintered, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockyrider Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Hi Bob, just a thought, are you sure the caliper pistons are allowed to apply the same force as when new? Might there be some muck between the caliper and pads? Are you using never seize between the pad EDGES and the caliper? These would seem a more likely problem than pad material. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) All I can tell is that I have been running the "BRAKING" pads, and they doo seem to work better than the Galfers when wet. Mind you, these were installed as to minimize the noise issue with the wave rotors(by Braking as well), yet there are tradeoffs is seems. The Braking pads do seem to be less noisy, and offer improved feel and progression, yet I have yet to find them equal to the Galfers in dry operation when you want that wheel to stop NOW to do a bit of a rear hop and such. MY finger memory still has a problem with that! Edited December 8, 2009 by copemech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony27 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Have a look at some of the site sponsors or ebay, have seen them in both places. Otherwise BVM supplied mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony27 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Got mine from DKbikespares.com , seem really good! I'd agree with that, bought a racing gear lever on ebay off them. Tucked in closer to cases & allows ignition cover removal with lever in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
