Brake Pad Upgrade

EBC HH sintered pads in my Trident 900. Is there anything else??!!

 

I have used SBS (SC) pads and found them to be excellent (on a Honda) but wear quickly
BTW if you have Brembos - HPS do various compounds so you could try a a different compound to suit your riding style.
The HH compound is better for high speed / sustained use (higher temp)
if you are braking gently and want more bite from cold HH may not be the best choice. You could contact HPS and ask their advice.

If it's only done 2000 miles remove the pads and clean them with 800 grit paper on a flat glass plate.

 

Yes, good idea, assuming they have gone off and you were never happy with them.. Alternatively carry out some hard barking from speed
to remove the surface . If you are using them too gently they may have glazed in which case HH pads is not what you need .

 

I put Brembo SC sintered pads in for more initial bite, they build up more progressively than the stock pads. Expensive though.

Give them a good scrape before replacing, they may be slightly polished which loses performance
