Full details

These pads are an excellent choice for street riders who prioritize precise feedback and longevity, though users should ensure these pads match their specific motorcycle’s braking system before installation, as compatibility is model-specific.

FAQs

Are these pads suitable for racing?

These pads are engineered for 'Road' use. While they offer high performance, dedicated track pads may be required for intense racing conditions.

Do I need to replace my rotors when I change to these pads?

Not necessarily, but you should inspect your rotors for grooves, warping, or excessive wear. If the rotor is damaged, it will cause the new pads to wear prematurely.

How do I know if the FDB574ST fits my bike?

Verify your model and year against a verified Ferodo fitment chart or consult your motorcycle's owner's manual for the correct OE pad specification.

Can I use these pads on both the front and rear?

These pads are generally designed for front or rear use depending on your bike model. Refer to your manual to see if the FDB574ST is designated for the specific position on your machine.

Do these pads require a specific break-in process?

Yes, avoid extreme or panic braking during the first 50 miles of use to allow the pad and rotor surfaces to properly align and mate.

Troubleshooting

Brakes feel 'spongy' after installation

This is often due to air in the hydraulic line. Bleed your brake system according to your motorcycle's service manual.

Braking performance is poor immediately after installation

The pads need to be 'bedded in' or seated. Perform controlled, moderate stops to break in the surface before expecting peak performance.

Brakes are making a squealing noise

Apply a thin layer of brake grease to the back of the pads (not the friction surface) to dampen vibrations.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Consistent and predictable braking performance
  • Excellent feedback for better control
  • Durable construction suitable for high-mileage road use
  • Effective in a variety of weather conditions

Cons

  • Specific compatibility constraints for motorcycle models
  • Sintered pads may be harder on certain older brake rotor materials
  • Requires proper bedding-in procedure for peak effectiveness

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, ensure your motorcycle's brake calipers are free of debris and old brake dust. The FDB574ST is compatible with various Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Husaberg models. Always check the official Ferodo cross-reference list against your motorcycle's VIN or original parts manual before purchase. When installing, ensure the backing plates are seated correctly and that the retaining pins are secure. Regular maintenance includes cleaning the brake area to prevent pad glazing and checking the thickness of the friction material every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, replacing them before they drop below the manufacturer-recommended wear limit.
