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.

Hi.. yer.. a bit cheap but I just don't have enough to spend on the ones I want right now so they'll do the trick for now..

I bet the pads go fast huh?

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,

Link pleace? Ebay perhaps?

Have a look here

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
