    SBS Dual Carbon pads

    Time to replace the rotors and pads on the GSXR.
    In keeping with my desire to try new (well to me anyway) shit and after speaking to the bike shop I settled on SBS Dual Carbon pads.

    They are listed as race pads, so I checked with them, and was assured, that they are suitable for road riding as I didn't want something that had to run at a very high temp to work properly.

    I have only done about 25km on them so far, but the braking performance is certainly down on the pads that were in there.

    So, a few questions.
    1) Are these pads suitable for road riding and the odd track day?
    2) Should I expect a bed in period after which I should see an improvement?
    3) Is there a correct way to bed in the pads?

    On the plus side, there is no shuddering under heavy(ish) braking so far. But that I believe is more due to the disks not being loose on the carriers.

    They will improve once bedded in,shouldnt take long,you need to get a few heat cycles through them,there a varied ways to bed them in,I would just use them normally & they will be fine
