FAQs

What is the main advantage of sintered brake pads?

Sintered brake pads, like the SBS LS Street Excel, offer superior durability, consistent performance across a wider temperature range, and better stopping power compared to organic pads.

Are these pads suitable for everyday street riding?

Yes, the LS Street Excel series is specifically designed and fine-tuned for street use, offering a balance of high performance and reduced noise.

Do I need to replace my brake rotors when installing new pads?

It is recommended to inspect your brake rotors for wear, damage, or warping. If the rotors are in good condition, new pads can usually be installed without replacement. However, significantly worn or damaged rotors should be replaced for optimal braking performance and safety.

How do I know if these pads will fit my motorcycle?

You must verify the compatibility with your specific motorcycle's make, model, and year. The product title often indicates the intended fitment (e.g., Yamaha BT 1100 2002-2006), but always cross-reference with your motorcycle's service manual or an official SBS fitment guide.

What does the HH friction rating mean?

HH is the highest friction rating assigned by industry standards for brake pads. It signifies excellent stopping power, developed originally for racing applications and adapted for street use in this series.

Are the included springs important?

Yes, the included springs are essential for proper brake pad function and retraction within the caliper. They help ensure the pads do not drag on the rotor when the brakes are not applied, contributing to performance and longevity.

How long do these brake pads typically last?

The lifespan of brake pads varies based on riding style, conditions, and maintenance. However, the low-wear formulation of the SBS LS Street Excel pads is designed for extended service life compared to many standard OE replacements.

Troubleshooting

Brake fade or reduced performance

Ensure pads are properly bedded in. Check for contamination on the rotor or pads. Verify caliper is functioning correctly and not seized.

Brake noise (squealing or grinding)

Confirm correct installation and that all hardware is in place. Clean rotors and caliper. Re-bed the pads. If noise persists and is abnormal, inspect for rotor damage or pad material issues.

Brake lever feels spongy

Check brake fluid level and condition. Bleed the brake system to remove any air. Inspect brake lines for leaks or damage.

Premature pad wear

Verify correct pad application for the vehicle. Ensure rotors are not warped or damaged. Check for any debris causing excessive friction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-performance HH friction rating for superior stopping power.
  • Durable sintered metal construction for longevity.
  • Designed for low wear, extending the life of the brake pads.
  • Features noise-reducing technology for a quieter riding experience.
  • Includes necessary hardware (springs) for installation.

Cons

  • Specific fitment required for compatibility with your motorcycle model.
  • Sintered pads may have a slightly different feel than organic pads.
  • May require a break-in period for optimal performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Ensure these brake pads are compatible with your specific motorcycle make, model, and year before purchase. Refer to your motorcycle's service manual or the SBS compatibility chart. The specific model referenced is for the Yamaha BT 1100 (2002-2006).

Setup: Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or individual with experience in motorcycle brake systems.

  1. Ensure the motorcycle is safely supported.
  2. Remove the caliper and old brake pads.
  3. Clean the caliper mounting points and caliper slide pins.
  4. Install the new SBS LS Street Excel Sintered Rear Brake Pads with the included springs.
  5. Reassemble the caliper and ensure proper function.
  6. Break-in Procedure: After installation, perform a gentle break-in by performing several light stops from moderate speed, gradually increasing the intensity over 20-30 stops. Avoid hard braking during the initial break-in period.

Care: Regularly inspect brake pads for wear. Clean the braking surfaces and caliper components periodically to ensure optimal performance and prevent premature wear. Avoid using abrasive cleaners directly on the pad material.
