Brake pads

Probably one of the cheapest upgrades available. The stock brake pads are fine for basic street bike use. For more aggressive riding, better pads provide both improved stopping power and feel. I've found that the stock pads on the XR provide good power, but not like the brakes I'm used to on my sport bikes. To see how different pads will change the braking, I ordered EBC HH Superbike sintered pads to try out (Front part number FA296HH, 2 sets). At the same time, I plan to replace the brake fluid with high temperature racing fluid and bleed them carefully. More on the results when I've installed them.
