guiricuco Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Hi All Im just trying to improve feel from the brakes on my GSXR1000 K6, pretty much stock apart from the can, and supercorsa's. Hopefully off to Phillip Island in a few weeks, really want to improve feel for the end of that straight!! Oh and what I mean by feel is not so long ago rode a stock 1198 and loved that sharpness and the sensation of the pads gripping, the GSXR just slows no feel. any ideas would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorenzo Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 DP (dunlopad) HH sport. Good initial bite without being overwhelming and don't overheat as easily as EBC's, but they cost the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorenzo Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I am deciding I need sintered pads. Innit. Bare minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guiricuco Posted August 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 When was the last time they where stripped, cleaned, greased up and put back together? Helps with my (shitty) brakes I know nothing about brake pads btw, although I am deciding I need sintered pads. Innit. I stripped and cleaned them not long ago, the work well just lack bite.

gsxr renegade Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 I stripped and cleaned them not long ago, the work well just lack bite. The biggest problem i used to have with my gsxr brakes was the fade. I had a set of EBC HH pads in. They were ok for road use, but shit on track. MAybe go with brembo pads? Bit pricey, but i know a few people that really rate them. Maybe upgrade the fluid as well, and if you haven't already (and can afford it) whack a set of braided lines on.

guiricuco Posted August 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 I have noticed the local superbike team here uses Yoshi pads, anyone tried them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny1380 Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 I have noticed the local superbike team here uses Yoshi pads, anyone tried them? Never used or seen anyone running Yoshi pads, but im another convert to the Bendix. My k4 1000 has brakes that arent up to the job on track or even some fast ride outs, every day use theyre just about ok. I think its now well accepted that the GSXR stock brakes dont really cut it if your a HARD braker/trackday fiend. Get some Bendix and try them out, if your still needing more id be looking at some different calipers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toosmooth Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Would also suggest SBS dual carbon. Stunning - I race with these and they're absolutely unfaultable, quick to warm, serious stopping power, good feel and 4 days on track into their life they're still going strong and have enough meat to do another 2/3 days.

originalracingsnake Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 I got my Bendix pads from TooTall, but you may have issues with getting hold of him. Bendix +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
