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.
