Thread: I need a brake

I bet the stockers are way expensive. And of course get the extreme pro.
Looked up stock 06 R1 fr pads and I'm shocked only $38 per side
I got a smokin deal on the EPFA's at $52 per side. But don't you know someone who can get ya a deal on the EBC's?
I love the EPFA's and here's why. They work well cold and hot they work wet they just work.
And they're made in America
EBC Extreme Pro™ Brake Pads | EBC Brakes

KK's part numbers aren't oe part numbers hard to find, I was trying
You need EBC EPFA 380 times 2

EBC EPFA 380 HH Front Brake Pads Yamaha YZFR1 YZF R1 LE .... YZF R1 2004 2005. YZF R1 LE 2006. YZF R6 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009. FZS FZ1 1000 V 2006 2007 ...

I just went through this myself. Couldn't decide which way to go. I ended up going cheap. I think it was galifer fronts and ebc rear or the other way around. I'm not one of those guys that struts around boasting about how "I never use the brakes" I had a complete front and rear brke faliure once on a kx 500 so now I actually do a extremly light brake test before 90% of all corners just to make sure they are still there I figure if I'm just going to grind them off then go cheap and save money for quality tires.

Agreed. I'm no racer and definitly not a pro. Full set of new brakes and a k+n air filter delivered to my door for $145. Some of the brakes I was looking at would of been $140 just for the front. Lol

Jimmie the RACE Spec is EPFA 380 HHLC the FA380 will suffice though :)

KK Part number is 7605-319 FA380HH $39.55

Odd the Catalog for KK without cross refernceing the EBC show a diff number
7605-332 = Front OE whihc is the FA252
7605-303 = Front HH

7605-409 Rear

Ok I'll be to the point cause it's Friday and I have began my consumption of an adult beverage
My SV weighs full of gas about 420lbs, it tops out at about 130mph+ I use ALL of my brakes to make up for HP loss. You guys with FASTER heavier bikes would benefit even more from pads like the EPFA's

get an HH rear.

Extreme pros are very nice. I like them a lot.
I am going to bring up another issue with the extreme pros they have like 1/2 the material. SO be prepared to replace A LOT sooner.

Infact I think its time for me to order brake pads again FUCK!!!!!

looks like I go through 2 sets a partial race season . I should be replacing them more often.

Personally I would go with OEM or HH pads for the street just to save cash.
