EBC Organic Front Brake Pads - FA229

While these pads offer reliable performance, they are primarily designed for street use. For demanding track applications, EBC's sintered brake pads are generally recommended for better heat resistance and fade performance.

ECE R90 is a European standard that certifies brake pads meet or exceed the performance of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) pads. It ensures safety and reliability.

Typically, this involves making 5-10 moderate stops from about 30-40 mph down to 10 mph without coming to a complete halt. Allow the brakes to cool, then repeat with slightly higher speeds and firmer pressure. Avoid hard braking during the initial bedding-in period.

It's recommended to inspect your brake pads at every scheduled maintenance interval for your motorcycle, or at least every 5,000 miles, and replace them when the friction material reaches a minimum thickness (usually around 1-2mm).

It is strongly advised not to mix different types or brands of brake pads on the same caliper or axle, as this can lead to inconsistent braking performance and uneven wear.

Aramid fiber is known for its strength and heat resistance, contributing to the overall durability and consistent performance of the brake pad compound.

This can sometimes occur with organic pads. Ensure proper bedding-in procedure was followed. Check for debris in the caliper. Anti-squeal shims (if applicable and not included) or a small amount of brake grease on the pad backing plate (not the friction material) can sometimes help.

Check brake fluid level and condition. Inspect pads for excessive wear or glazing. Ensure the brake caliper is functioning correctly and not sticking. Bed-in the pads again if necessary.

Organic pads naturally wear faster than sintered pads, especially under aggressive riding. Ensure you are not engaging in conditions that exceed the intended use of organic pads. Check for any dragging brakes or issues with the braking system.
