Yamiya brake pads - any good?
« on: January 11, 2020, 08:06:52 AM »
I've had "the squeal" since getting my bike. Replaced the adjusting screws and spring, new stainless steel piston, lube on the sides, tried some anti-squeal stuff on the back of the pads too. Still squealy. I'm wondering if anybody has tried these pads from Yamiya and can comment on how well they function particularly with regards to noise:

You shouldn't need to order from Japan to get decent brake pads.

What are the current best brake pads out there, especially for noise? EBC sintered ones?

I use EBC pads on the bikes I look after. Dont think they offer a sintered pad for the cb750, but they do make semi sintered. Bought mine from the local Honda shop. Going from cheap no-name (emgo maybe?) pads to EBC stopped the squeal for me.

Stock CB750 disc/rotor is not good.
My K2 brakes work within legal city speeds.

DSS has good price on their aftermarket version.

They claim it is better than stock.
