Brakes for Ninja 300

Bought these for my Kawasakai Ninja 300 SE Abs 2013. Compared to stock brakes, that's great. At the highest level. After 1600 miles on stock brakes they are already worn down to 1/8 inch. I personally didn't like the soft stick brakes. So I switched to them, I also switched to ATE Super Blue Dot 4. Now the difference between day and night with those front brakes is AFTER you've braked them. The installation took literally 3 minutes. I did this while the ad was running. 4 screws total, (2) 5mm hex head screws and (2) 13mm wrenches if I remember correctly. I pulled out the old one and moved the caliper with my hand. Then he installed a new one and screwed it on again. I wish cars were that simple. The first 10 stops were safe. Brakes MUST BE BREAKED IN. I can't stress this enough. After about 20 starts, stops and delays on the track, these brakes started to BIT. If you want more, you probably need upgraded rotors or dueling front brakes like on the big bikes. But these are great. My braking distance is shorter. So if you want to bite the brakes where you feel the brakes and not just slow the brakes, stop the power. Got it. And while you're at it, grab some DOT 4 from ATE. Flushing breaks is that easy. And the brakes only cost me $34. Installation 3 minutes. It's worth it.

Pros
  • understandable also for the old ones
Cons
  • Some little things
