These are specialized race pads designed for extreme heat and performance. While they can be used on the street, they are optimized for track conditions and may offer a different feel or wear rate compared to street-specific pads.
The bedding-in process typically involves a series of controlled stops and cool-down periods over a short duration before intense use. Follow the specific bedding-in instructions provided for these pads for best results.
The 'Zero Brake Fade Guarantee' means that under normal racing conditions, these pads are engineered to maintain consistent braking performance and stop without significant power loss due to heat buildup.
It is recommended to inspect your brake pads before every riding session, especially if you are regularly tracking your motorcycle. Look for wear indicators or significant material loss.
It is strongly recommended not to mix brake pads from different manufacturers or types within the same caliper. Always use a matched set of pads designed for your specific motorcycle and riding application.
Sintered pads generally offer higher friction, better heat resistance, and longer lifespan compared to organic pads, making them ideal for high-performance and racing applications where heat and durability are critical.
Ensure the brake system is properly bled to remove any air. Check brake fluid level and condition. Verify correct installation and ensure no leaks in the brake lines.
This can sometimes occur with sintered pads, especially during the bedding-in process or if debris is present. Ensure pads are properly seated and that the brake discs are clean and free from contamination. Proper bedding-in procedure is essential.
Check for glazed pads or contaminated brake discs. Re-bed the pads following the recommended procedure. Ensure brake fluid is not overheated or contaminated.
Ensure you are using the correct pads for your riding style and conditions. Monitor braking habits; excessive dragging of the brakes can accelerate wear. Check for any issues with the brake calipers or rotors.
Compatibility: These EBC GPFAX Sintered Race Motorcycle Brake Pads are specifically designed for compatible Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade models (refer to specific vehicle fitment guides for exact year/model compatibility). Ensure your motorcycle's braking system calipers are clean and in good working order before installation.
Setup: Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or an experienced individual familiar with motorcycle brake systems. Follow the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications for caliper mounting bolts. Proper bedding-in is crucial for optimal performance:
Care: Keep brake components clean and free from debris. Periodically inspect brake pads for wear and ensure the brake fluid level is maintained. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners on the pads or rotors, as this can damage the pad material.
