OEM Brake pads.

Aloha All,

Just put a set of BMW OEM park pads on the 1100. What break in procedure do you guys recommend. What type of pad is the OEM?

Thank you,

John

Morning John

Just do a light burnish (few light stops then allow to cool) then do a few moderate stops & allow to cool (you can keep riding as they cool just don't use the brakes if possible). No real hard stops from speed until they have some moderate stops on them (you don't want to glaze the pads)

As to pad material type?-- That depends, tell us the 1100 model that you have & if possible the OEM brake pad part number.

1996 1100RT

Part number: 34117658156

As a comparison, your brake part lists for $82+. Aftermarket EBC lists for about $40 or less, double sintered.

EBC pads are well known and liked by many. $30 or less on Amazon.
