brake pads OEM or aftermarket?

svizoman · 02-06-2012, 02:16 AM

I have bought 2000 Yamaha R6. Presume that bike had OEM pads, so I was also looking the OEM replacement. But since I figured out that I was actually running Lucas (satisfied my needs) and that OEM are more than twice the price I am now looking aftermarket sintered front pads. Also Lucas pads didn't "eat" my discs (they are both well preserved) and they last for 25.000km (10 by me, 15 by owner before me).

My local dealers offers as follows:
OEM 55€
Nissin 54€
EBC 35€
AP 33€
Lucas/TRW 27€
Carbon Loraine 34€

Don't ask me for a pad type all I know that Lucas are labeld as:MCB611SV

Be greatful for any personal or profesional experience

in my experience you get what you pay for, But I used EBC and they have done me well. If I change my pads I go with EBC.
