FAQs
Are these pads suitable for racing?
These pads are optimized for leisure and recreational use, focusing on durability in tough conditions. For competitive racing, consider EBC's dedicated race compounds.
What is the recommended break-in procedure?
After installation, perform 5-10 moderate stops from around 30 mph down to 10 mph, allowing a cooling period between stops. Avoid hard braking for the first 100 miles.
How often should I check my brake pads?
It's recommended to inspect brake pad wear at regular service intervals, typically every few months or after significant off-road use, checking against the minimum thickness requirement.
Can I use these pads in all weather conditions?
Yes, these sintered pads are specifically designed to perform exceptionally well in water, mud, dust, and sand, offering consistent performance across various challenging environments.
What is the difference between sintered and organic brake pads?
Sintered pads are made from metal particles fused together, offering higher heat resistance and longer life, especially in harsh conditions. Organic pads are softer, quieter, and easier on rotors but wear faster and perform less consistently in extreme conditions.
Will these pads fit my 2003 Yamaha YFS200 Blaster?
No, these specific pads (FA155R) are designed for the 1991-2002 Yamaha YFS200 Blaster rear application. Please check for compatibility for other model years.
Troubleshooting
Brake fade or reduced stopping power
Ensure the brake system is properly bedded-in. Check for brake fluid leaks or contamination. Verify that the pads are not excessively worn.
Squealing or noise during braking
Ensure anti-squeal shims are properly installed if provided. Check rotor surface for glazing or contamination. Clean caliper slide pins for smooth operation.
Premature wear
Confirm compatibility with your specific model. Ensure rotors are in good condition. Avoid excessive riding in extremely abrasive conditions without cleaning.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional durability in wet, muddy, or dusty conditions.
- Sintered construction provides a long service life.
- Consistent and reliable braking performance for leisure riding.
- Made with high-quality US-sourced materials.
Cons
- May require a break-in period for optimal performance.
- Sintered pads can be harsher on rotors compared to organic pads.
- Performance might be slightly less aggressive than race-specific pads.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: These pads are specifically designed for the rear of the Yamaha YFS200 Blaster models from 1991 to 2002.
Setup: Ensure the brake caliper is clean and free of debris. It is recommended to replace brake pads in pairs for balanced braking. Inspect brake rotors for wear or damage before installation. Follow the manufacturer's torque specifications for caliper mounting bolts.
Care: After installation, perform a proper break-in procedure. Typically, this involves several moderate stops from a moderate speed, followed by a cooling period. Avoid aggressive braking during the initial 50-100 miles. Regularly clean the brake system components to remove dirt and grit that can accelerate wear. Check pad thickness periodically and replace when worn down to the minimum thickness specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
