Well hello there! a 66 year old git here, just got myself a K7 FE, after selling my Ducati Diavel, which sits alongside my XJR1300sp in my garage
Never ever owned or ridden a Suzuki in my time on planet earth, some 18 bikes owned and sold in that time
First ride out today and very pleased but not with the initial bite of the front brakes, what's the opinion on the best pads (hate EBC) ?
looking forward to receiving your responses...... Cheers

I use EBC pads without any problems .
I'm sure other will be along with other suggestions for brake pads .

Hi Steve & welcome to the forum.

As for the front brake, yes it does leave some folk underwhelmed, especially if they're used to radial fronts. Brake pads are always a personal preference, some like sintered & others like organic, some like HH & others GG.

Welcome Steve. Good of you to join us.
As for your brakes, you don't say why you dislike EBC. I use them and like them. HH front & GG rear, stops really well.
Enjoy your new bike...... :cheers:

Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

Welcome to the forum Steve  :onya: What does the "Big" stand for? are you a fat bastard or hung like a hose.  :lol:
As for brake pads I have used goldfren with good results.
Keep the rubber side down.          Mick

Welcome along @Big Steve  :onya:

I always used EBC HH all round without any problems or dislikes. 50k miles covered over 8 years. I did however change the front calipers from 6 pots to Tokico 4 pots.
Assumption is the mother of all fuck ups!

I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

The initial attraction to motorcycling inflicts people for various reasons and at different stages in their lives. But once someone experiences the elation of riding a motorcycle there's no denying the nearly spiritual effect it has.
