Motorcycle Brakes
Sintered and organic pads, floating discs and braided lines. Pads and fluid are the two cheapest upgrades that change lever feel more than anything else on a motorcycle.
Quick reference
| Pad compound | Sintered for all-weather bite, organic for quiet low-dust |
|---|---|
| Fluid spec | DOT 4 (DOT 5.1 where specified) — never DOT 5 silicone |
| Disc minimum | Typically 4.0-4.5mm front, stamped on the carrier |
| Typical install time | 45 min |
| Difficulty | Easy |
| Shop labour | 0.8 h at typical workshop rates |
Signs you need new parts
- Friction material under 1.5mm or below the wear groove
- Spongy lever that improves after pumping
- Squeal, judder or pulsing under braking
- Brake fluid darker than pale straw
What to check before buying
- Measure disc thickness against the minimum stamped on the disc carrier
- Replace pads in axle pairs, never one side only
- Flush DOT 4 fluid every two years regardless of mileage
- Clean and grease the caliper slider pins on the same job
OEM vs aftermarket
OEM
OEM pads guarantee the compound the ABS calibration expects and never squeal against factory discs.
Aftermarket
Quality sintered aftermarket pads cost 30-50% less and often out-bite OEM when cold, at the price of more dust.

FAQ
How long do motorcycle brake pads last?
Typically 8,000-20,000 km on the front depending on compound and riding style. Track and city stop-start riding sits at the low end.
Do braided lines really help?
Yes. Rubber lines expand under pressure; braided stainless does not, which removes most of the sponge from an older bike's lever.
