Default My DRZ needs front pads, which brand ?

MOTed the DRZ last week, couple of advisories, low front pads which I knew about and 3 loose rear spokes which hopefully just need tightening.

Anyway, which brands are good for pads?, first time I've had to put pads on a bike since I was 17.

I'm gonna give it a mini service as well while I'm at it, oil, filter and plug change.

Cheers

Cant comment on the dzr as such (pretty much the same as dr) but when i had the dr rolling the gold fren were cheaper than most and very bitey which i quiet liked.

I don't want a mega hard compound tbh, if I had to replace them every 3k or so I wouldn't mind that as they are only less than £15.
I'll take a look at those, cheers .

Ferodo is the brand I've always used in my cars over the last 20 odd years, so would feel fine using them on a bike I guess.

Reason for this thread I guess, I was hoping an overwhelming amount of people recommend the same 1 or 2 brands.

Not a clue

A quick Google shows they might wear up quicker than more expensive ones but I guess it depends on the sort of mileage you are going to do.

XRV boys seem to like them...http://www.xrv.org.uk/forums/africa-...rake-pads.html
