Not rear but front. Mates MT10, very average front brakes for such a quick bike. Monoblocks. Today we fitted Brembo SA pads to it. He reckons its gone from useless to more you squeeze, harder it stops. Very pleased. Standard pads were Toyo.

I`ve got a mate with the opposite problem, he`s bringing up his KTM superduke again with a third set of pads for me to fit as the originals, and his researched last set he reckons are too touchy and hard to modulate, not sure about it to be honest,but he reckons it`s a "thing" with the superdukes, I`ve ridden it a few times and didn`t notice anything wrong, but I`ve already told him he`s more than likely just a dickhead.

My mate has a Superduke he mainly uses it on the track but also on road, I can ask if they change pads for different situations.

I reckon his brain to hand coordination isn't up to the task of differentiating between his main ride R 1150 GS adventure and the KTM

Think you will find that with most GS riders myself not included.

Put new pads in the superduke today EBC HH and he reckons they feel great, the ones I took out were as new, barely bedded in  Ferodo, so they either are better or he is to embarrassed to say otherwise after all  my shit hanging

He hasn't been using the rear brake much this week.
