I changed the tyres on the K1300S over the weekend (Pilot Road 4) and swapped out the rear pads while I had the wheel off.
Fitted the Carbone Lorraine RX3 pads as recommended and once they bedded in they're quite impressive.
They bite progressively, are quiet and easily powerful enough to match the fronts.
New rubber and brakes - there's nothing like it to rejuvenate a bike.
Well the Carbone Lorraine rear pads eventually wore out.
After my initial enthusiasm I was underwhelmed.
I thought the performance deteriorated rapidly over their lifetime and they were pretty mediocre after a few months.
I've replaced them with Ferodo Platinum Series on the rear and they've been really good. Better braking than stock and very easy to modulate. Overall I prefer them.
The fronts need replacing now so I dropped out to the local dealership this morning.
€183.39 for a set of pads (that's parts only, not fitted).
I'd be tempted to try the Ferodos all round next time since the rears have been so good.
