Product Information

Full details

The EBC Double-H Series Sintered Motorcycle Brake Pads are ideal for high-performance riders and those who frequently commute in demanding road conditions, offering superior stopping power and longevity. These pads provide a significant upgrade over standard factory components with consistent performance in wet or dry environments. The main caveat for potential users is that they are a high-performance sintered compound, which means they are designed primarily for spirited or heavy-duty riding rather than light, casual use.

FAQs

Are these pads street-legal?

Yes, EBC Double-H Sintered pads are designed for high-performance street use and are fully compliant with road-safety standards.

How often should I replace these pads?

Frequency depends on your riding style and environment, but they should be inspected at every oil change. Replace them once the friction material reaches the wear limit indicated by the pad groove.

Will these damage my rotors?

No, they are designed to be compatible with standard steel and cast rotors. However, always ensure your rotors are within the manufacturer's thickness specifications.

Can I use these for track days?

Yes, their high fade resistance makes them suitable for track days and aggressive sport riding.

Do I need to sand my rotors when switching to these pads?

It is highly recommended to scuff the rotor surface with fine-grit sandpaper or a scouring pad when installing new brake pads to remove old friction material deposits.

Troubleshooting

Brakes feel 'grabby' or noisy immediately after installation

This is often due to a lack of proper bedding-in. Follow a gentle warm-up process to allow the pad compound to transfer evenly to the disc.

Increased brake dust on wheels

Sintered pads are higher performance and naturally produce more dust than organic pads. Regular cleaning of your rims is recommended.

Brake lever feels spongy after heavy riding

Check your brake fluid. While the pads resist fade, if the fluid is old or has absorbed moisture, it may still boil. Flush your brake fluid system.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent braking performance in both wet and dry conditions
  • High resistance to heat-related brake fade
  • Reduces heat transfer to brake fluid via radiator plates
  • Compatible with a wide range of brake disc materials
  • Improved safety and stopping power over standard pads

Cons

  • May be more aggressive on older or softer brake discs
  • Can produce more brake dust than organic alternatives
  • Requires a proper bedding-in process for optimal performance
  • May be overkill for light, casual urban riding

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installing the EBC FA447HH pads is a straightforward process for anyone familiar with basic motorcycle maintenance. To ensure optimal performance:

  1. Preparation: Clean the brake caliper pistons and surrounding area with specialized brake cleaner before installation.
  2. Bedding-in: After installing, avoid aggressive emergency stops for the first 50-100 miles. Perform a series of gradual, controlled stops to allow the pad and disc surfaces to mate perfectly.
  3. Compatibility: These pads are designed for use with stainless steel and cast discs; verify your bike's specific caliper fitment using the FA447HH part number.
  4. Maintenance: Regularly inspect your brake discs for signs of scoring or uneven wear. If the discs are worn below the manufacturer's service limit, replace them along with your pads for safety.
