Motorcycle brake pads are one of the consumables on your bike that should be replaced. As much as you like accelerating and going fast it is also important to be able to stop safely. Sintered, semi-sintered and organic brake pads all have their own characteristics of performance, longevity and feel. Riders who are just looking for replacements can consider OEM or equivalent pads while those looking for better brake feel and stopping power can consider upgrading to more performance oriented brake pads. It doesn't matter if you are shaving off speed before dipping into apexes at your track day or if you are cruising down main street, replacement brake pads for your motorcycle are part of regular maintenance.
