I know this has been asked before but I'm too lazy to do a search:blah: . Who makes the best brake pads for a 400? Is it best to just go with stockers or does anybody else make any that will last. I have Galpher on the rear now and they didn't last long at all:grr: .

Id like to know too! I can't get any more than 2 months out of a set of pads. I know alot has to do w/ the type of riding conditions. Because I rarely use my rear brakes and they still wear out quick. :grr:

I have switched to the DP pads and really seem to like them they have lasted me longer than the breaking pads.

vesrah are expensive but worth it. I think there just about the same as stockers, but i havn't seen any that are better than these..

Do you have to use their rotors or will their pads work on a stock rotor?

I think we need a brake pad post in the F.A.Q forum, since Exs like to go through pads so often.
I personally have used EBC standard pads and have gotten fairly good life out of them. But I also don't ride in much mud or water either.

I, like Dusty said, have had the best luck with the DP pads. I've found them to last a bit longer than stock. Stock pads seem to be 2nd best.

Anotherthing that seems to help is to use a deburring bit on the cooling holes of the rotor to take the sharp edge off.

I guess DP it is. Thats a pretty good idea with the rotor Jeff I hadn't thought of that:) .
