2019 onwards AL9 front pads?
Hello, I've a 2019 AL9 with the four pot calipers. The pads look like they've little life left. I've had a look on the EBC site but these pads (FA496HH) look like they are for the 2 pot calipers. Anyone know if they are suitable please? If not what the hell are?

well bowl me over. so they do. i personally never found the older SV brakes lacking if serviced properly but it looks like suzuki has listened for once either that the parts bins were full of the 4 pots.

Re: 2019 onwards AL9 front pads?
In that case, I wonder if the four pot calipers will retro fit the older models.
Having said that, like Bibs I find the normal 2-pots pretty good as it is. Last edited by garynortheast; 19-09-22 at 11:10 AM. |

Agreed, I also wonder if the four pots would be any better in the real world or is it mainly marketing spin?

Re: 2019 onwards AL9 front pads?
saying that I cant safely ride my 2007 SV with one finger on the brake lever which I would like to do. Maybe I need one of those Charles Atlas hand exercisers but I think four pots might allow me to do it....

I only ever use my first two fingers on the brake lever.

Re: 2019 onwards AL9 front pads?
as I said yes two is ok but just forefinger would be more comfortable and I believe thats doable on a GSXR but not enough on my SV...
