Bedding in new pads?

[AC]

Yeah I did a search, didn't find what I was looking for. I've never had a bike long enough to have to replace the pads.

I cleaned the rotors with scotch brite.

So whats next before or at my next track day? Proper bedding procedure?

It varies a little depending on the pad but most are similar.

With your clean rotors go out and do 5-6 stops in quick succession from a moderate speed at 50-70% braking effort then let the brake system cool down fully.

There was a good thread on it that I posted on, but I guess you missed it. Here is the link. There is a good article on general bedding of the brakes.

I found that thread. Does the link still work for you? doesn't for me.


Thanks Tim, these are the pads I got from you. Parking lot time at lunch today.

^^^ This EXCEPT don't actually stop. I usually aim for 100 km/h then reasonably heavy braking down to 20 km/h (ensuring not to lock anything or engage ABS is you have it), rinse and repeat (I do eight applications). The theory and procedure is explained very well here;
