Review on EBC Brakes FA363 Disc Brake by Brian Gopalan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good pads with less bite

I removed the ABS module from my R1150RT because it had completely failed. With this mod, my rear brakes became significantly stronger, so much so that I often locked the rear wheel. Someone recommended that I switch from the original sintered pads to these organic pads. It brought a big improvement. I still have good, strong rear brakes, but they are softer and smoother with better control. How long they will be worn is not yet known, but that is secondary to me. BTW, Revain says they don't fit my R1150RT, but they do. I am quite warned that these softer organic pads are not the recommended type.

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish
