Guest Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Hi,Looking for a bit of advice with my Suzuki GSX600F. Brake fluid levels are touching the lower limits, so looking to change the brake pads. I would appreciate some advice on which EBC pads to get - HH or GG rating, any suggestions would much appreciated?!On a side note, the fuel gauge is being a bit temperamental. It has a full tank, but jumps between empty and half-full on the gauge, and seems to stick there for a little while. Again, any suggestions would be great!Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 are you sure its because of the pads why your fluid is low? But anyway I use EBC HH pads and they are great the GG ones are supposed to be rubbish and lack feel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlecat Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 what have pads got to do with fluid levels ( or am I just being a girl here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 The HH are sintered......and I'm guessing that the GG are organic (made out of Horses.... ).......so as Stu says the HH ones are likely to be a bit better.Personally I use Carbone Lorraine pads on my bikes......and they work pretty good IMHO.....

Guest Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Thanks.Not sure no, but they are looking low and they were noted on the last MOT as getting low. Any other suggestions for a cause?And I have heard that the HH can damage the dics - im not racing it in any way shape or form so was unsure as to whether or not a needed to top level of performace - would still like to stop though!!

Tango Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 what have pads got to do with fluid levels ( or am I just being a girl here)Well Cat....as the pad material wears down the caliper pistons need to move further out to compensate.....so the fluid moves down from the master cylinder towards the calipers.....

Tango Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Sintered pads can wear the disk rotors a bit more.......but these days the manufacturers have improved the material so that they don't wear them as much as they used to..... One thing you don't want to compromise on is your brakes..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to use carbone lorraine bob and have done for years but thought I would try EBC on a recommendation of a lot of TL owners and I must say I am really really impressed as in I think I will stick to them they feel better then the carbone lorraine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Yeah thats one of the main reasons I looked for a different set also the price too carbone lorraine was close to £70 a set I got the EBC's for £20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattycoops43 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I tried EBC on the fazer when I changed them last and they are spot on! Won't be using anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
