I thought SBS were more dedicated for the track? Ive got a ZX10 2004 and use Bendix MF for my road/track bike. They are pretty damn good and work well from cold. I didnt go for SBS as i use it on the road and dont get enough heat into them.

If you have the Tokico standard calipers ive got a brand new set for sale. I upgraded to the Nissin calipers. See the for sale section if you fancy them

Thats thier street pad from memory ..  its a regular sintered pad and perfectly acceptable for road use.

Mike - OE brake pads no good on the 10 ?
used SBS dual carbon on the track = awesome - tried SBS sintered on the 750 = hated them

I had issues with my 04 tokico calipers so swapped them for 09 zx6 Nissin calipers. Its sorted the issue out for me.

Andy, Colchester Kwak dont even stock oem pads!! Say they are too expensive
Guessing up and down the Alps for 2 weeks will put some heat in them :-)
May buy Maddog's as a back up

I had SBS fast road pads on my k7 mike,for 1 of the france trips & I killed them on cow shit road..i will never use them again...had no confidence in the brakes once they got hot..massive brake fade everywhere when I was giving it some..

Well the little beggars, all 8 of them, are in now :-(. However might take the old ones with me as there was plenty of meat on them in case I suffer like John. Hoping to get out today to see what they feel like
