i don really know how to discribe. But i guess is like metal rubbing against metal those kind of sound. So izzit i should go and change my brake pad?

[dragonforce]

if its metal rubbing metal.. probably your brake pads have worn off.. or blow off the brake dust and see if you still have that sound..

After riding this Super 4 for a year plus, it's finally time for me to change the brake pads!

 

I've read all the pages in this thread. I noticed that there is a lot of mention about EBC HH brake pads. Is it really good? And, does it wear out the brake disc fast?

 

By the way, the brake pads on my bike is an unknown brand called "Kevlar"... I'm totally un-knowledgeable with regards to brake pads.

 

I need all of your expert help here! Thanks!

[dragonforce]

you clock so much mileage going on tour with pplater but nv changed brake pads before? wow.. anyway, yeah ebc is a good brand.. but hearsay (hearsay only, ie baseless) it wears off the disc slightly faster than others. i think normal ones like goldfren, ferodo will do the job well.

Thanks for your prompt reply! Yep, to tell you the truth, I'm a little paiseh lah... Despite covering that amount of mileage, I've NEVER changed my brake pads before :giddy:

 

Do keep all of your brilliant advice coming! Maybe more brand names of those mid-range brake pads?

 

I'm very sure that these info will benefit all Super 4 riders out there!

for me, using goldfren for front. produce lots of brake dust and everytime only my front rim dirty.

last time after changing to goldfren and when i use front brake, will have a squeaking sound. even after blowing brake dust, brake bleed and new brake kit. now still have that irritating sound but not so often. issit cos of brake disc?

[s4dreamer]

I changed to Ferodo in the end and it is so far so good! No squeaking sound or whatsoever.

[dragonforce]

i using ferodo as well.. yup its quite good..

Hey guys, just wanna ask my front brake isn't dat effective after rain pours on my bike. I really have to pull my brake lever hard b4 e brakes take into effect. I presume this is normal? Maybe becos of wet brake pads?

 

Also, when it happens to my bike, I tried intermittent braking n slowly my brake start to 'makan' again.

 

Is there sumting wrong w my bike brakes?

[nullifi3d]

whats the price of brake pads? If i'm doing my HEL brakelines i might as well get my brake pads changed, the front brakes has this weird feeling, i gotta press more than 3/4 of the way to enable effective braking, and its pretty jerky. Not as smooth.

[Muska1212]

hey guys, jus to check with you guys actually with brand of wave disc is better.galfer or braking. i know galfer is cheaper by 15 dollar. wave disc is for cb400 vtec 1.

Hi,

 

You'll need an internal circlip pliers. Preferably straight jaws. 90deg jaws may not be long enough to reach the circlip properly. Rest of the tools required are the common screwdrivers and wrenches.

If you're servicing the front master cylinder, you may run into problems priming/bleeding the brake circuit; it's a Nissin design problem. If it happens, let me know and I'll try to explain the way to solve the problem.

 

Cheers
