SBS HS Sinter Street Front Brake Pads - SBS - 631-HS

These pads are specifically designed for modern high-performance, sport, big touring, and adventure motorcycles that are OE-equipped with sintered brake pads. They are best utilized as an upgrade or direct replacement for such systems.

Consult your motorcycle's owner's manual or the manufacturer's technical specifications. If your bike originally came with 'sintered' or 'metallic' brake pads, these SBS HS pads are likely compatible.

The low-wear sintered compound is designed for longevity. Lifespan varies greatly depending on riding style, conditions, and maintenance, but they are generally expected to last longer than standard organic pads.

It is recommended to inspect your rotors for wear and damage. If your rotors are within specifications and have a smooth surface, they can typically be reused. If they are worn, grooved, or warped, replacement is advised for optimal performance and safety.

Sintered pads are made from metal particles fused together, offering higher thermal stability and durability, thus better performance under demanding conditions. Organic pads use composite materials and are generally quieter and gentler on rotors but wear faster and can fade more easily.

The bedding-in process is critical for sintered pads. It ensures the pad material properly transfers to the rotor surface, maximizing friction, minimizing noise, and achieving optimal, consistent braking performance.

Ensure the pads are correctly bedded-in. Verify that the brake fluid is not old or contaminated, and consider a brake fluid flush if necessary. Check for adequate airflow to the braking system.

This can sometimes occur with sintered pads. Ensure proper installation with anti-squeal shims if provided. Verify the rotor surface is clean and smooth. A proper bedding-in process can also help.

Check for excessive pad wear or contamination. Ensure the brake lever and caliper are functioning freely without sticking. Confirm the correct pad type is installed for your motorcycle.
