Had some trouble with my front brakes, think I've got to the bottom of it now. But quick question what would be a good bet for the front pads?. I've looked at some EBC HH for about £37 or a local dealer has some 'nissin' pads in at £32 which he reckoned were the dogs danglies..but he would say that.
ooh wait actually - bonus question; I'm pretty sure I've come to the conclusion the mastercylinder was at fault (despite replacing the piston and seals in it) I've temporarily replaced it with a cbx500 mastercylinder (which I don't dare take off ![]() Cheers ![]()

Checkout Wemto for pads, I don't know if your price is for one or two sets of pads? I'd go for the EBC pads myself.

As far as i know you can just whack on a master cylinder from for example a CBR600 and get an improvement .
Its something i've been meaning to look into in more detail too. Over to the org experts.... |

Cheers sv demon, I just need something asap but (silly I know) I'm a bit apprehensive about putting another sv one (made by nissin coincidently) on as I can't see why the last one failed, and still wasn't working after a new piston and seal kit in there. Very odd - think I'll end up getting one unless I can source something tomorrow.
