Product Information

Full details

The EBC HH Front Brake Pads (FA229HH) are designed for Suzuki and Kawasaki motorcycle riders seeking superior, consistent stopping power. These pads offer durable, high-friction performance for both street and track use, backed by industry recognition. A key consideration is that they are sold per caliper, meaning two sets are typically required for a full front brake setup on most motorcycles.

FAQs

Are EBC HH pads suitable for all weather conditions?

Yes, the sintered compound is designed to provide consistent performance in a wide range of temperatures and conditions, including wet weather.

How many brake pads are included in one package?

Each package contains the brake pads for one caliper. If your motorcycle has a dual front brake system, you will need to purchase two packages.

What is the recommended bedding-in procedure for these pads?

A common procedure involves making 10-15 moderate stops from approximately 30-40 mph down to 10 mph without coming to a complete halt, followed by a period of steady riding for cooling. Refer to EBC's official documentation for the most accurate procedure.

Will these pads work with my stock brake rotors?

Generally, yes, they are designed to work with OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) rotors. However, always ensure your rotors are in good condition (flat, not excessively worn, and free of deep grooves) for optimal performance.

How do sintered pads differ from organic pads?

Sintered pads, like the HH series, are made from metal particles fused together. They offer higher friction, greater durability, and better performance at high temperatures compared to organic pads, but may produce more dust and require a proper bedding-in process.

What is the warranty on EBC HH Front Brake Pads?

EBC Brakes typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the specific warranty information provided with your purchase or on the EBC Brakes website for details.

Can I use these pads for both street and track riding?

Absolutely. The Double-H series is specifically engineered for a balance of street usability and high-performance track capability.

Troubleshooting

Reduced braking effectiveness after installation

Ensure the brake pads have been properly bedded-in according to the manufacturer's instructions. Check for air in the brake lines or low brake fluid.

Squealing or noise during braking

This can sometimes occur with sintered pads. Ensure proper installation, check rotor condition, and confirm the pads are adequately bedded-in. Anti-squeal shims, if applicable, should be correctly fitted.

Brake lever feels spongy

This usually indicates air in the brake hydraulic system. Bleed the brake system to remove any air bubbles. Check for leaks in the brake lines or at the caliper.

Premature wear of brake pads

Ensure rotors are clean and free of damage. Verify that the brake caliper is not sticking, causing constant drag. Check for foreign debris lodged between the pad and rotor.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional stopping power and consistent performance.
  • Durable construction suitable for high-mileage use and aggressive riding.
  • Proven quality, recognized by motorcycle industry experts.
  • Reliable braking across various environmental conditions.
  • High-friction compound for enhanced control.

Cons

  • Sold per caliper, requiring purchase of two sets for a full front brake system.
  • Sintered pads may produce more dust than organic pads.
  • Initial bedding-in period is crucial for optimal performance.
  • Can be more expensive than basic replacement pads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These brake pads are designed as a direct replacement for specific Suzuki and Kawasaki models. Ensure you confirm compatibility with your motorcycle's make, model, and year. The pads are sold individually for one caliper. If your motorcycle has dual front brakes, you will need to purchase two sets (one for each caliper).

Compatibility: The FA229HH model is specifically designed for certain Suzuki and Kawasaki front brake calipers. Always refer to the EBC Brakes application guide or consult your dealer to verify fitment for your exact motorcycle model.

Care: After installation, a proper bedding-in procedure is crucial. This typically involves a series of controlled stops from moderate speeds, allowing the pads and rotors to mate correctly. Avoid aggressive braking during the initial 50-100 miles. Keep the brake system clean; regularly inspect the pads for wear and ensure brake fluid levels are maintained. Clean rotors and caliper components periodically to prevent premature wear and maintain optimal performance.
