    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Pads for a 1978 GS750

I need to install new pads and thought maybe organic would give the rotors a longer life. Is this a good idea or should i go with semi-metalic or ceramic? It has the single disc up front.
 
I posted the question for brakepads for my 750 a couple of weeks ago and most people liked the EBC brakepads most.
 
I just replaced all my pads, and I used the EBC brand, and that's what was also installed prior. My rotors are all fine still. As long as you get to them before they go metal to metal, you'll be OK.

You might want to read my "Doing the brakes (breaks)" post for some further information.

Cheers,

Roger

Yes I agree, the EBC seems to be the front runner here!
Have you checked/miked your rotor? A lot of people just throw pad upon pad over their rotor without considering the condition. What I,m refering to is are they nice & flat? Worn too thin? Some times they can be ground down flat on a lathe if their not too thin to begin with. Remember when a new pad which is perfectly flat rides on an 'old' rotor it 'rides' on the peaks of the highest points of the rotor often times the overall effect is an ineffienct braking power as in the whole surface of the pad is not yet in contact with the rotor hence the term the bedding in of the pad.
