Default Im about to replace my SV pads Fr+Re EBC ?

I need all pads for my K3 SV650 N and have seen some EBC pads has anybody used them and are they any good?
I just commute and only have the odd occasion where they might get hot, so no need for any fancy high temp pads.

Just commuting then some EBC GG will be fine. The HH sintered ones have more initial bite, a bit too much for use in the rear.

TBH chris, I got EBC in the front GG me thinks, and I got HH sent to me for the rear when we rebuilt Suze+braided hose. I was told that the HH would bite a lot and the braided on the rear would add to the prob, and also a combination of GG and HH wouldn't be preferable, can't say I'v noticed.


Apart from the GG/ HH argument, EBC pads are fine...I've always used em

Thanks for your comments.
I also have a set of Goodridge braided hoses to fit at the same time. I have been saving them to do the job all in one go.

I have braided hoses and EBC HH's all round on both SV's and I have never had any issues, its all about controlling the brakes not slamming them on!

Yeah, and the SRAD brakes with HH aren't short on stopping power

Some like that feeling on the rear though, some don't.

Very true, like most things it is down to personal preference.
