I've installed EBC FA-HH Series FA244HH sintered brake pads and after braking in, I notice they improve the initial bite.
I'll drive the bike a while with the new pads and I'll see how I like it in the long run and if I'll switch to larger disks or maybe a new radial pump. The brakes are definitely OK, but I really like a direct and responsive brake. The JJ-stuff still acks the sense of control of brembo brakes have and I've experienced when I test drove other bikes.
A question: it's my first bike with ABS, so I can't compare, but when braking hard (like in an emergency stop) the ABS kicks in and does it's job. However, I feel I loose quite a bit of braking distance. Especially near the end of the braking, when I'm almost coming to a stop, the ABS kicks in and lengthens the brake path quite a bit. Sometimes it happens at the start of the braking. Mainly the fact that I can't predict when the ABS kicks in and lenghtens the brake path, annoys me. Maybe I should brake less aggressive but I wonder is this normal behavior of ABS? Any tricks and tips?
