Hey guys are per this thread;

http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=141599

My brakes need some attention I would be very grateful if I could some help please. I don't want it done for me, I want to learn so I can do it myself.

I do need new brake pads for the front and rear, what are the best pads to use on the bike?

I can travel, but I have a garage here and a reasonable amount of tools now if that makes its easier.

Thanks:D

Last time i bought pads for the bike I just when oem - though I would reccommend changing each set on consecutive weekends so that you give each set a chance to bed in & get some bite in them.

i agree i with kinvig there.

Personally i use the sintered or HH pads myself.

I may be free friday during the day if you are and can get up to me we can do it here.

Hey thanks for the offer but I'm at work and stuck in meeting south of the river most of the day tomorrow. But I need to get the break pads first.

I put the new pads in front today, I gave everthing a dam good clean as suggested its all clean and shiny now:D

As I said in the other thread the brakes not being sharp is that just them bedding in. I haven't bleed them either.

The rear break can be done at a later date.
