FAQs

Are these pads street legal?

The DS-1 pads are primarily engineered for racing environments; please check your local regulations if you intend to use them on public roads.

Do I need to change my brake fluid when installing these?

While not strictly required, it is highly recommended to use high-boiling-point racing brake fluid to complement the performance of the DS-1 pads.

Can I use these on stock brake discs?

Yes, they are compatible with standard brake systems, but ensure your discs are in good condition and within the manufacturer's thickness specifications.

How many pads are in the box?

The pads are sold individually per caliper. If your motorcycle has dual front calipers, you will need to purchase two sets.

What is the difference between DS-1 and DS-2 compounds?

DS-1 is typically used for strong initial bite, while DS-2 provides a different friction profile that can be mixed to fine-tune your total braking balance.

Troubleshooting

Brakes feel soft or 'spongy' after installation

This is often due to air in the hydraulic lines. Ensure the system is bled properly after pad replacement.

Brake pads are wearing out unevenly

Check that the caliper pistons are moving freely and the guide pins are clean and lubricated.

Squealing noise during light braking

Ensure the anti-rattle clips are correctly seated and the back of the pads have a light application of brake grease where specified by your bike's service manual.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent initial bite for aggressive braking
  • Highly durable construction using NRS technology
  • Fade-resistant performance under high thermal stress
  • Customizable feel when paired with DS-2 compounds
  • Consistent friction levels from start to finish

Cons

  • Sold individually, requiring multiple orders for dual-caliper setups
  • Optimized primarily for track/racing use rather than casual commuting
  • Requires proper bedding-in process for peak performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, verify that the `SBS-809-DS-1` is compatible with your motorcycle's caliper model. Always ensure the brake discs are free of debris, grease, or residue from previous pads before fitting the new set. Since these are high-performance racing components, we highly recommend a proper bedding-in procedure on a safe, closed course to transfer the compound material onto the disc surface properly. Avoid heavy braking immediately after installation to ensure even contact. Inspect the thickness of the friction material regularly after each race weekend, as the extreme conditions of track riding can cause faster wear than street use.
