rear brake pad recommendations ?

While i'm waiting on a rear tyre to arrive i figure after 25 k miles on these rear brake pads i should find an upgrade replacement .... these started squeeking on me about 8 thou miles ago ....... What is a good replacement upgrade over stock that's not the top of the cost list.... these pads always felt kinda vague requiring a bit more pressure on them than i would have liked ..... realizing it's only a one piston brake , just the same would like to have a bit more response to the rear brake ....

surely there's a difference between makers or compounds that would make a improvement .......

thnx in advance.

Squealing or the miles doesn't mean they're done. Did you look to see what condition they're in; how much pad is left? Sometime a thorough cleaning of calipers, pads, and rotors can alleviate squealing. Sometimes, just putting in new pads will make the squealing issue worse. Has the fluid ever been thoroughly flushed and properly bled? If there's plenty of evenly worn pad left, these low cost services can make a big difference in performance.

Cheapest pad you can find that works - really doesn't matter that much. Many here seem to adore EBC (I don't - and OE are fine by me for rear pads), but they're pretty affordable. Of course there are various compounds from Brembo, Ferrodo, Galfer, Carbone-Lorraine, and who knows how manother brands. Not difficult pads to find.

I don't think it matters.
I've just sold my GTR1400 with 50,000miles on the clock and still with the OE pads in.
That's not to say I don't use the rear brake: I use it in very slow traffic - you know: one hand for the clutch, one for the throttle, one foot for the brake that sort of thing and occasionally to lock the rear up for fun.
Other than that: who needs a back brake at all?

Theres a back brake?

The SD rear brake is about the most feeble back brake I've ever had on a motorbike. It's OK for corner stabilising and slow control work but not much good for anything else. I wouldn't waste your time looking for pads materials to improve it.

A couple of members have retro-fitted the twin pot calliper from the adventure bikes I seem to remember. If you really want a better back brake.
