| Hello,
Just wondering if anyone has a view on which Brake pads to use or do we just try for Honda (I need good ones just to stop running over nutters who cross the road randomly usually with kids or swiping phones).
Also is there anything odd about bleeding the system or just do each in turn, not quite sure how the linking works.

| agreat, look on Ebay under FJS600. I replaced my pads front and rear with the Goldfren pads, i have used Goldfren on several bikes i have owned and have no complaints. I changed the brake fluid recently also and it is really straight forward, i prefer to do the front brake first, and after riding a day or two the combined front-rear ,this way if there is a problem i have one brake that is okay (hopefully). |

| Cheers Ol' Limey, The choice was taken out of my hands coz I looked up my MOT date and it was out by 10 days so after a fail on the front brakes the shop put on EBC sintered pads so now I'm all legal again. Trouble is it cost £40 more than if I'd done the change earlier myself, Hey Ho Thanks for the top on bleeding |
