hi, i'm looking for an update! EBC HH ate my previous rotor, i'm not keen on it, though it is really good price on amazon, and i don't need to ride 24km to the dealer. a long time ago Bro Hachi suggested Vesrah as a really good alternative, but i'm not sure VD JL(Sintered) or SD (resin)

i am also considering Goldfren S3 (not S33) for a balance of grip and rotor life, but not sure if its decent. the AD (red) ones are terrible in the rain.

yep, i woke a very old thread.

Just get the SD ( Semi Metalic compound), used them for more than a decade. Never failed me on track or tour. Maybe I am slow.
Goldfren AD dont bother, waste money. Used on my S4, changed it within 2 weeks. S3 nv used before, so no comments.

thanks bro. anyone who has been to track is definitely more speed hungry than me. i got my first vesrah SD. Trust japan tech. eversuccess $20. ah boy now only carry EBC and the usual hopeless brakes.

Update: first day with Vesrah and clean calipers, thunderstorm. The brakes felt no different from the mscp, and on the road. Perhaps I ride too slow. Good stuff suitable for my style. Brake is progressive, not the intense initial bite from ebc hh, I like it. Look forward to try d2moto.

For the past 10 years, it only increases $2, one of the most underrated brake pads. I am very slow on track, cant even break the 2 mins barrier. LOL.
Anyway safe ride. Make sure your tires are in good conditions. No point having a good brake pads with wore tires.

Thru the years, i learned that caliper servicing, fluid quality and rotor condition is equally or more important. Im cheap so i get my rotors from china(50 compared to 300-500)and they all performed better than the grazed oem ones. If you want more sensitivity and modulation u can also change to steel braided (i roll with china 17vs 80 per line ).

Ebc hh was fantastic but i now roll with kelvar pads from usa(d2moto/volar) for about 1/5 the price they last somewhat about 70k i think. my friends love them too because they are cheap and we cant tell the diff with ebc.

The vesrah green/fizzpower and goldfren was disappointing.

Ah boy sbs was fantastic. Thanks hachi for the intro.

I track, tour and carve the mountains. Im very slow too

Do you have a link for your rotors bro. Better still do you have link for sprocket. I got to change soon. Chain perhaps DID is fine.

Thank you for the brake pad suggestion, I will try those when I ship in other things from usa.

A quick search reveals that the price is unbelievable from USA d2moto/volar. Can give it a try when my current pads run thin.
Does D2moto ships to SG? The brake pads and sockets look good. I don't mind giving it a try.

[Hydher]

dont buy their chain sets.
I ship thru ezbuy ive only tried e kevlar and its good man.

rotor get from www.taobao.com . type your bike model n year. good luck
