FAQs

What does "HH" friction rating mean?

The "HH" rating signifies the highest friction compound offered by EBC, providing maximum stopping power.

How long do these pads typically last?

EBC Sintered "HH" pads are designed to last approximately twice as long as conventional organic brake pads due to their durable sintered material.

Are these pads suitable for all riding conditions?

Yes, they are designed for high performance on both street and superbike applications, offering reliable braking in various conditions.

Do I need a special bed-in procedure?

Yes, a proper bed-in procedure is recommended for all new brake pads to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Consult EBC's guidelines or your motorcycle's service manual.

Can I use these pads on a track day?

Absolutely. The high friction "HH" compound is specifically designed for high-performance riding, including track day use.

Are these pads made in the USA?

Yes, the EBC "HH" Sintered Brake Pads are crafted in the USA.

What is the difference between sintered and organic pads?

Sintered pads are made from metal particles fused together under heat and pressure, offering higher friction, longer life, and better heat resistance compared to organic pads, which use organic fibers mixed with other materials.

Troubleshooting

Brake noise (squealing or grinding)

Ensure proper bed-in procedure was followed. Check for rotor runout or contamination. Verify pad alignment within the caliper. Sometimes, high-performance pads can produce noise; anti-squeal paste on the backing plate might help, but consult a professional if persistent.

Reduced braking performance

Check for air in the brake lines (requires bleeding). Inspect rotors for glazing or damage. Ensure the brake fluid is not contaminated or old. Verify pad material is not worn down to the metal backing.

Brake lever feels spongy

This usually indicates air in the hydraulic system. The brake lines may need to be bled. Check for any leaks in the system. Ensure the brake fluid level is adequate.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Maximum braking effectiveness due to highest friction rating.
  • Significantly longer service life compared to organic pads.
  • Durable construction for consistent performance.
  • Award-winning and respected performance.

Cons

  • High friction may require rider adaptation for smooth braking.
  • Potentially more aggressive initial bite than expected for some riders.
  • May generate more heat under extreme use compared to lower-friction pads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation of EBC FA196HH brake pads should be performed by a qualified mechanic or an individual experienced with motorcycle brake systems. Ensure the caliper is clean and free of debris. Follow the specific service manual for your motorcycle model regarding caliper piston retraction, pad installation, and torque specifications for caliper mounting bolts.

Compatibility: These pads are designed to be a direct replacement for the manufacturer's specified part number FA196HH. Always confirm compatibility with your specific motorcycle make, model, and year before installation. Consult EBC's official fitment guide if unsure.

Care: After installation, a proper bed-in procedure is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. Typically, this involves a series of moderate stops from various speeds, allowing the pads and rotors to mate properly. Avoid sudden, hard braking during the initial bedding-in period. Regular inspection for wear is recommended, and replacement should occur when the pad material reaches the minimum thickness specified by the manufacturer or your service manual. Keep caliper slides lubricated to ensure even pad wear.
