brake pads

[Phazernut]

I had my rotor replaced under warrantee.

Also which pas fit my 12Ss? It has the 8 piston caliper.

I don't think that's accurate at all on the Lyndall Gold pads. The Lyndall pads have a progressive feel, tend provide smoother braking with little to no pulsing at all, long life, easy on the rotor, and don't do well under excessive heat (ie pushing them hard) So they should make for a great street pad for someone who is going to cruise around town and hit the occasional twistie road.

Hello!
Does this "don't do well under excessive heat" concern emergency braking in street use? Occasionally happens when "cruising around town"... Those Lyndalls are a real bargain if you read their description at lyndallbrakes.com )
Well, if somebody sees this ancient thread...

the lyndall golds suck imo. the progressive feel translates into little to no initial bite and you need to really pull to stop, then the next time you pull they have faded. i dont know how they advertise no dust, they were awful in that department too. the ebc double h or hawk hh are the way to go. much better initial bite, less dust, and less resistant to fade.

mike: like kona said the EBC HH pads front and rear are the way to go. i sell them to members all the time. your cost is $82 including freight for both front and rears and $3 insurance on shipping. $85 total. sometimes you can get away with de-glazing the front rotor if you feel comfortable doing it. if not, have someone help you. the rotor bolts can be a bit tricky and tight to remove without correct tools. contact me below if you want the pads.

Thank you! Locally they are 60$ front only, but i discovered where to get them at any time.
Is there big difference in brakes between Firebolt and Uly?
Got Lyndalls waiting to cure (maybe) the pulsation, but now they disappoint me. It becomes too expensive to experiment if you have to buy originals for 120$+ afterwards.

I was told that EBCs don't work well in rain. Is that true?

buy the SBS Pads..... good price and excellent braking power, no noise ...
I changed from Buell Racing pads to SBS. wont go back.. (street use)

they worked great for me in the rain. i swithced to the ebc pads with in the first couple of months of getting the bike they have performed well at 105 deg,10 deg rain or shine.

Will these be FA345?

They seem (similar on pic) to be invoked in a trouble here http://www.buellxb.com/Buell-XB-Forum/Buell-Firebolt-XB12-XB9/EBR-Racing-Rotor/2/ I ordered that disc too, but without EBR pads. "Now i'm nervous"

By the way, what is that thin steel plate used for?

Is it neccessary? No third side pad set is equipped with that. I had to put these on Vesrah from my original pads.

or here same pads..

You mean they are "hair triggered"?

"anti-chatter"....."anti-squeal" insert plate. and yes, it must be used.

What is the best rear brake pads for 2009 Buell XB12Scg? Will these pads fit 2009 Buell XB https://www.amazon.com/2004-2008-Bu...=1479531088&sr=8-14&keywords=buell+brake+pads ?

 

[Silverrider]

I just want to follow this thread. :eagerness:

 

[njloco]

Well, it does say 2004-2008 and you say you have a 2009 .

 

[TPEHAK]

Yes, that is why I'm asking. Is there any difference between 2008 and 2009 in the rear brake?

I've ordered SBS ceramic brake pads since it looks like ceramic brake pads increase brake disk life time.
