Golden Pad X

[How is it used?
The brake discs and brake pads on my used WR250X had reached their limits of use, so I decided to replace the brake pads along with the brake discs. The brake discs are SUNSTAR Custom type and the brake pads are Golden Pad which I used on my other motorcycle. I had used the regular Golden Pad on my other motorcycle, so I decided to use the Golden Pad "χ This is the first time that we have used

Was the one you received as per Image?
The product itself arrived the same as the picture. However, just by looking at it, I couldn't feel any difference from the previous Golden Pad.

Was the installation difficult?
If you are able to remove the brake caliper and the pad pin, the replacement is relatively easy as long as you have the right tools. However, it is necessary to have a certified factory to replace Brake Pads. If you are not confident in your ability to replace the brake pads, please contact a motorcycle shop.

How was your experience with it?
The Disc Rotor itself is thicker than the new + OEM Disc Rotor, but the Brake Pads have been replaced and the brake feel has been improved by a large margin. In the city, the braking power is sufficient, but more than that, the controllability due to the increased touch feeling has become considerably better. As for the braking power, I feel that it has become better than before as shown in the Chart image of the product Page, and I think that it is sufficient braking power if it is not an environment where full brake at RACINGSpeed is used a lot.

[Included Parts:were they on?
Only Brake Pads are available.

[Was there anything that disappointed you?
I think it's performing well enough for now. I think it's pretty cosy considering the price.

OEM Comparison

The response was lowered at the dragging point, where you just hit it to grip or not grip it.

The initial braking in a light grip feels weaker than expected.

In town riding with a certain amount of grip, the braking went up a bit without complaint.

Brakes from full throttle, more sinking of the suspension and more braking.

A little more rise in speed would be nice.
The thickness of the pad felt thin, so Shim is installed.

It was installed in CYGNUS X SE44J Type 3 Japanese specification This time the disc is new too
To be honest, CYGNUS is too effective and requires delicate breaking
If you grip it with a firm grip, it will front lock If you get used to it, the braking distance will become quite short
If you want a powerful Brake, I recommend it

I was unhappy with the weakness of the VT750SBrake, so I tried to change it, but Single disc one-sided push Even the Caliper can provide more than enough braking power
When I tried full breaking, the Front locked up, so it is suitable for vehicles without ABS It is not
Some people have written that they squeak, but I replaced them with these and they stopped squeaking
I don't know about Life, because I've only just replaced it

What made you decide to buy?
I was unhappy with the effectiveness of the OEM Brake Pads, so I bought this one, which has a good reputation! It was

How was your experience with it?
In the OEM, you have to hold it tightly to get a good effect, but these Brake Pads are It feels like it works from the moment you squeeze the brake lever
It feels like it has about 20% more braking power than the OEM
Because of this, it's probably best to operate with caution when the road surface is wet

Was the installation difficult?
On my CYGNUS X, it's easy to just remove four Bolts
The work was done in less than 30 minutes

【Please tell me the installation point and hang】
Know the tightening torque on the Bolt that holds the Brake Caliper etc You should have a Service Manual because you need it
Also, since it is a safety part, you are responsible for any problems that may occur

[Was there anything that disappointed you?
I used anti-squeak Grease, but it does squeak a bit

Do you have any wishes or improvements you would like to make for the Manufacturer?
It has good braking power and works, but it's also very expensive
A little cheaper would be nice
