Double H Sintered on the rear.

[Howling TerrorOutOfOffice]

My new pads have arrived then it dawned on me. Should i be using organics on the rear?
e.g. Anyone find the sintered pads giving too much bite and occasionally locking the rear?

Ta.

BTW The pads are EBC HH. Noticed they have micro-grooves cut into the rear pad material....presume they bed-in sooner.

Never paid much attention either way, but most of the time I find it's easier to just not press the pedal as hard, or press it harder.

Though, to be fair thinking about it... on my light weight KTMs (ie <100kg) they use the same rear brake as my 690 which is probably circa 150kg, then the option to have 26l of fuel.

So it's a tad under-perforing on the big 4 stroke, while it easily locks the rear with the clutch out on the diddy 2 strokes. I ended up filing a big chunk of the 200 rear pads to give them less power, which seemed to do the job ok.

I'm probably over-thinking things. Maybe as i won't have time to 'learn' them before i take pillion and luggage at the weekend.

Pillion will mean it's a fair bit less likely to lock up and you could probably do with the extra power.

But then why are you using the rear brake in such situations anyway; the purpose of the rear brake is to keep a slide initiated with gears going, surely?

^^^My bad.
OT.

Have talked about doing a 2up trackday with my daughter. As she goes horseriding and rock climbing it's only a matter of time....and me finding the guts to do it.

No such thing, I'm afraid.

If you're lucky, might manage some 2up drag racing, but suspect insurance rules are going to be tightening on that sort of thing.

Though, find me a local kart track that does supermoto pit bikes and she's welcome to have a play with mine(*).

No excuse for you not to do one, presuming you haven't, however .

i run organic pads on the rear on road and track

I have those exact pads on the rear of my CBR...brand new a couple of weeks ago, not locked the rear up yet! (well...not intentionally)

I have a set of HH pads in the rear of both dirt bikes.They cut through the water/dirt mud a lot better.

The only downside that I might have about using HH pads in the rear of the road bikes is increased wear to the disc.But many pad manufactureres suggest using a GG pad on the back disc.But,as has been suggested,cutting away part of the pad material is a good way of reducing the ability of inadvertantly locking up the back wheel.

Ive a rear HH on the bike for road and track but in fairness its a gold-fren so its purposely a bit crap!

Can still lock the rear easily enough but usually not much of a problem.

I think you're overthinking it

[Howling TerrorOutOfOffice]

Back from a weekend of biking.
A noticeable improvement. The original pads were Brembo and i liked them, but with the EBC i do seem to get a better bite and still retain what little 'feel' i had before.
Only locked up once..about 10miles from home...i've locked up the rear there before (downhill into a r/bout)

I saw a 2up trackday vid..was convinced it was uk based.

I used some EBC HH on the rear. Were rather shit tbh, binned them in favour of some Nissin pads.
