Kyoto brake pads

Hi guys!

Has anyone got any experience with Kyoto brake pads?
I bought a front set for the YZ250 front end of my XT600E rebuild and I'm awaiting for them to arrive..

They're dirt cheap but they stop you !!

Fine for an XT600.. I'd think twice about using them on a superbike.

I really can't remember. If anything, they might last longer...

The expensive companies prefer stopping power to wear !!

Got them on my XT600, XT660R and TT600. Can't complain. Decent performance, cheap and long lasting.

Cheers,

Have a look here

http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/Yamaha/X...98/#ELECTRICAL

Scroll down to the brake section.

I get all my spares from here which, even with postage to Turkey, are cheaper than the "bought in UK price" because they deduct the VAT. May not apply to Europe though.

Cheers,

Dicky

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
