YZEtc Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 If you're like me, you feel the stock FZ-07 front brake pads require a bit too much squeeze on the front brake lever for serious stopping power while sport riding.I decided, just after a couple of days of taking delivery on my new FZ-07, to try the FA252HH pads, and I'm glad I did.Now, the front brakes offer noticeably more stopping power and with far less effort required to get it. If you sport ride and want more WOAH per squeeze, this is the easy way to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olderthandirt Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Another vote here for the double H pads. Congress is the only whore house in the United States that loses money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NICKY NEON Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 should of waited a few more day for the oils and brakes to wear in. I have no problem stopping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest unknown Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I'm about to replace my pads with these, do you recommend anyone on ebay/amazon or another vendor for buying them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem stopping?Sure, the stock pads can stop you, but the ones I switched to can stop better with less effort.Also, I don't believe the stock pads were going to get any better, and from the first use of the brakes with the new pads, I could feel the difference.

Premium Member hippiebikerchick Posted September 2, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted September 2, 2014 I think the brakes could be better too. I can stop faster on my heavy cruiser! But it could be I'm still getting used to the FZ07 and afraid of doing a stoppie or sliding out. The brakes seem to improve after the pads conform a bit to the rotors.

sigma2chi Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I've got over 1000 miles and I still don't have the kind of stopping power i'de like to have. When I do I have to squeeze harder than I should. I'll definitely give this upgrade a try. Wonder if there are any pads on the market that are even grippier than these?

Premium Member crazycracka501 Posted September 7, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted September 7, 2014 Too much and you will either end up vertical on your front wheel or warping your rotors. Make it stop!....Now make it go faster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ralph Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 The demo bike I rode felt a bit wanting on the front and a bit to good on the rear, mine feels right both ends, having said that when ever I have fitted EBC pads they have made a big difference.

sigma2chi Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Too much and you will either end up vertical on your front wheel or warping your rotors. I'll stick with the HH pads mentioned here then. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
