bucknekkid Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'm planning to tackle brake pad replacement soon. Any reccomendations on what kind of pads to use? BMW or other brand? What is a good source to obtain them. Link to comment
Jerry Johnston Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Welcome Todd, I'd do a search and you'll find lots of advice. I used EBC pads on my 096rt. You should post what bike you have, it would make it easier to advise you. Link to comment
flat_twin Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 EBC here also. Just put a set on last weekend. Link to comment
Good_Fixs Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 You have made a good choice on the BMW bike you bought, why do you want another brand of pads for the brakes? buy the best buy BMW. Thanks Link to comment

SAAB93driver Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Another vote for EBC. Link to comment
Alain_Labelle Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 EBC again, Changing the brake pads on my 2001 R1150RT was very easy. Link to comment
Shaman97 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 It was easier to change the brake pads than change the oil. Link to comment
devauxb Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I got some DP dust-less pads from the BMW dealer. They were recommended and seem to work great. By the way, there is a very comprehensive write-up in ADVRIDER on rear brake pad replacement for a GS - you'll see which involves LOTS of cleaning and lubing: http://advwisdom.hogranch.com/Wisdom/BFDRear2.1.1.pdf Link to comment
