Default EBC or Versah pads?

Getting kinda thin on the front. Have a little less than a nickle's width. It seems to slightly squeek under hard braking just before stopping. Surely there's some dust that I haven't cleaned out since the track day. (no front stand yet) Anyway I know to go with the HH rating just curious to see what's recommended.

I have used the vesrah sjrl's and now the sbs sintered race pads with the 6r calipers. I like the sbs for better trail braking ability so far. The initial bite of the sjrls was too much/too soon. Plus they are spendy and tougher on the disks.

Thanks Drag. Just trying to figure out which ones dicipates heat better too. Last thing I want is warped rotors. Have to do more research I guess.

I changed to Galfer pads and they have worked well.

Its true, the galfers are eating my discs like PB&J, but they stop the bike in short order

I might just go with the EBC, always had good luck with them

Ah hell yeah it's normal!..and awesome! I started my 00 KX250 a couple of months ago and it shook like crazy so I know exactly what you mean. Also not used to it after riding a 4-stroke for the last 3 year. Wanna buy it?
