Review on Enhance Your Braking Performance with EBC Brakes FA196HH Disc Brake Pad Set by Chris Willis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fits 2015 Honda CB 500 X

The pads fit my 2015 NISSAN CB500 X brake perfectly. Say well done. The pads are a bit awkward to fit into the caliper. Be patient. Before installing, clean the inside of the caliper well, including the pistons. Also lubricate the caliper slide pins. Eventually, the locking pin is likely to corrode. scratching or grinding. Apply a VERY light amount of grease to the retainer when reassembling. Don't forget to transfer the anti-rattle/squeak parts from the old pads to the new ones. Be careful not to let the metal tensioners fall out of place inside the caliper. I have found safe braking with these pads. So far they seem great. The single rotor front brake has good stopping power.
