Brake pad advice

[tnwareagle89]

Totally agree with sticking with OEM brake pads

Rear pads were gone - lots of squeaking; during regular dealership service the pads were replaced...squeaking still there, even when rolling the bike around in the garage (not running)

Replaced the front pads to remedy the noise - didn't help, actually even more pronounced (brake cleaner helped for a few days, then noise came back)

Dealership finally replaced both sets with OEM pads (at no cost) and the noise is totally gone

The aftermarket pads worked well, no fade, etc - just drove me nuts

Now all good - will replace the pads with OEM from now on

I always stuck with OEM Kawasaki.  Can't go wrong. You can find them online.

Hello all!

I'm sure it's discussed somewhere in the forum, but I am not finding it.  What is the brake pad du jour for the 1500? There are several options out there, just don't want to waste the time/money on something crappy  .

Thanks in advance!
