I've never used Kevlar pads before, on a bike or car, and am not sure they are the way to go. They are after all, still an organic pad. Are the tried and true sintered pads I'm so familiar with still the hot setup? I've also not seen any ceramic even listed. Anyone with real world experience or links to authorative sources? The bike is an '06 650R.

I've heard numerous recommendations, from knowledgeable riders, for Vesrah RJL pads for street use. There may be "better" pads, but what works on the track doesn't always work the same on the street.

No thanks, I've been there...gonna' try out the new racing pads, and headed down hill in to the city and promptly rolled right on through the first two stop signs 'til they finally started to warm up!

Sintered, Kevlar, or Ceramic Pads

I just use the ones Tampon has in the box...

I heard ceramics r good but they need to be hot to work well. Not something I would find dependable.

Get out the torch!! I find the stock ones good, not that I've tried others but my bike stops just fine.

Ive tried many. Cheaper ones more expensive one. Stock seem to work best overall and they last longer.
