Breaking the Habit of Unreliable Braking Systems

We can greatly appreciate tremendous benefits of motorcycle brakes when faced with the one of our most nerve-racking and supposed to be dreadful journey. This is the reason why we need to maintain properly.

We must ensure that it will not keep us depending on whenever we need it. It can turn out to be our last feasible resort - there is no second chances because what we can be battling in the situation is our loved one's life or our very life.


Every part of the brakes must be inspected carefully to avoid troublesome incidents in the future. We also need to consider the brakes' good wear characteristics, kind - whether OEM or an aftermarket motorcycle parts, its prices and of course its function and performance.

According to experts, the best motorcycle brake is that of an OEM. That is true. However, there are aftermarket motorcycle brakes that are equal to the OEM's quality but lower in prices. When you know you have a better choice, why will you settle for less? Why not take the opportunity to have the best?

The common motorcycle brake pad design depends upon the disparaging process of dragging the pad against the disc to create the heat or friction in order for the bike to stop. For the braking fluid not to boil or denigrate, heat must be dissipated. Thus, the pad has to have a lot of 'fill' material for heat dissipation and the friction portion of the pad chemistry must be very severe. This will reduce the amount of actual friction-producing material. Nonetheless, this may lead to short rotor life, noise, brake "dusting" degradation, and reduced effectiveness of the pad itself.

There are other manufacturers that run a completely different principle in creating bike's friction. The brake pad material is adequately heated to embed into the brake disc. This transfer of material from the brake pad to disc continues as long as the pad is in use. Cushioning effects will become apparent as the use of embedded material gets thicker. This effect dampens the tendency for the friction materials to seize the rotor. The system is called the carbon brake system.

Bear in mind that a very good motorcycle brake conditions has a good bite, dissipates heat well, and is durable. These quality should be the basis in choosing your brakes. This is the neutral ground where we decide what brakes to use for our bikes.

  1. I am searching in quality brake pads for the my bike like V-Brake. My biggest concern (and the top priority) is to stop the flow of heavy rain. Also, I want them to be as quiet as possible.
