EBC-HH Pads hissing in normal riding!?!
- Thread starter PHH
- Start date
Mine are always "buzzing" while riding. They will get bedded in soon though, give em a few hundred miles and you'll be fine!
Nothing to worry about.

Concur. All normal behavior. Most all brake pads display some amount of hissing; some more noticeable than others due to pad construction/materials.Nothing to worry about.

Try this, if you haven't already done this: when pulling away from a dead stop and using a "none aggressive" pull-out; apply slight pressure to your front brake enough to "touch" ever so slightly for enough time to allow the pads to "bite". They will pull against your acceleration a bit, but you will know when to release and when enough will be enough.
This will help in your bedding process.
I would rather hear a little hissing than none at all.

W/ the EBC HH pads and SS lines combo you'll feel a world of difference in the front brakes. At first you'll feel like you're applying too much brake because they grab so well, but after a while you'll get used to it and it will become normal braking for you.
And yes I have an ever-so-slight hiss but nothing bad enough to where it's annoying or worrysome.

Yup, I allways apply a little brake while riding to bed in new padsTry this, if you haven't already done this: when pulling away from a dead stop and using a "none aggressive" pull-out; apply slight pressure to your front brake enough to "touch" ever so slightly for enough time to allow the pads to "bite".

Apart from the noise, I like them. They have the initial bite I thought was missing with the stock pads. Whithout question a big improvement

Yes, I installed Galfer stainless lines and changed the fluid.
I have also been adjusting the suspension, running these brake mods on stock settings is not a good idea...
So far I have gone up 2 clicks on compression and rebound(front and rear)and 1 and 1/2 turns preload on the forks. The tire pressure is at 36 psi. The bike is much more stable, both in the corners and on the brakes
I haven´t decided yet if like the stock Bridgestone tires,but the feeling from the back is not as good as I would like when riding near the edge og the tire(nothing dangerous, but not to my liking...) I might go for Metzeler Sportec M3 or Michellin PP 2CT next.

Is it the same part number for front and rear? 3 sets?

Nope, the rear is different a pad
