I use the SBS ceramic pads rather than the sintered and have had no disc wear. I find that breaking performance is improved and they last as long as the Oem pads
Hi Neil
Where can I get hold of these and what is the price?
My OEM pads on the new bike did not last. 11K on the clock front pads down to less than 1mm on the pad left. Phoned Honda and they gave me a heart attack 2k for front pads. Phoned my friend he had Feroddo Pads for me for a lot less. So i have gone the aftermarket route but will keep a eye on the disc as the km add up. If i see premature wear to the disc i will swop to OEM pads again.

I have the Ferodo pads but not very impressed with them. I think they are very hard and the front pads make a screeching sound when braking lightly - and this was from new.

Have now done 8000km with them.
I will switch to the SBS shortly.
Yes i have noticed it does not bite as sharp as the OEM pads. But i was in a pinch and needed pads. So by the sounds of it the SBS pad are not bad just need to buy the right ones.
Did you notice any extra wear on your disc or not?
I use SBS cintered pads. Under R1 000 for both front and back. Just bought my 3rd set in 60 000km. Discs still look great. Very little wear.
Also using SBS cintered pads - no issues
2k for front pads is just insane. Times are tough everything is going up need to save money where i can. and i was not impressed with the oem pads this time round 11k and they where gone....if they lasted me 18k again sure no problem.
