ZX6R Break Pads

[nasty]

Can anyone shed any light on what kind of pads I will need? HH, GG etc?
I use the bike everyday so something that won't wear out too quickly but can still stop the bike from high speed comfortably.

Thanks

changed the pads end of last year on the wifes zx6 and just went for HH, seem to be pretty good and not too expensive.

If it's for everyday use I'd go for standard EBC's, not HH. The HH are not as good in the wet and will wear the discs quicker.

Thanks guyz

Are the standard ones the "GG" type or are they just "Standard"?

I'd heard there were trade offs with the "HH" but just thought it was accellerated disc wear.

The ones I put on NEED to be good in the wet.

Thanks

Don't worry about the friction rating.

EBC are usually the cheapest and are pretty good. As far as I know they do two main types for all bikes; Organic and sintered.

Sintered will accelerate disc wear and will rust to the disc when wet. They don't sound like the pads for you.

Organic aren't *quite* as good, but you're not racing the thing so it won't matter. They may even work better in colder and wet conditions.

HTH.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I've used HH in the wet on track, braking hard behind a bike spraying up a large stream of water from their rear wet. Seemed fine to me.

I'd go for at least HH on a 600 sports bike; personally I prefer Carbone Loraine generally, though there's not too much in it.
