Hello,
the brakes on the GSXR are really poor. I've been told by my mechanic (without telling him that the brakes are shocking) that the brake pads I have in are rubbish. So my first port of call is to get some new brake pads in and give the system a bleed.
I want the brakes good and proper for a Euro trip through the alps next month but I also use the bike to commute. I want something that will stand up well to track use and hard general use but also pads that will work first time on a cold Manc morning.
Any recommendations? The bike is an K3 GSXR600 K3. If that doesn't work I'll get the mechanic to have a go at cleaning up / servicing the callipers, which I assume would be the next port of call.
Cheers G
Would be trying OE pads. And new fluid should help too.
agree with above, guys even race on OEM pads. Get the calipers done if they haven't been touched for years and you should see a dramatic improvement
thanks both - is there a reliable way of finding out what the oem parts are online for the purposes of an ebay search?
If haven't already fit braided brake hoses
Try Redcar Suzuki, always been very reasonable on price in my experience.. I tend to run Brembo pads but they are bleeding expensive ..
