Does anyone know where to get non OEM brake pads for the CBR 250 like Yazaki or EBC?

Just changed them 10k kilos ago and theyre gone again.

What type of adhesive is used to attach the brake pads to the metal part? Anyone know? Epoxy?

i think these performance brake pads come with the metal parts as a set.

No?

Brembo has replacement pads for the Honda CBR250R... http://brembopads.com/En/Pads/Pads_Catalogue_Search.aspx?SearchBrand=HONDA&SearchCC=250&SearchModel=CBR%20R&SearchYear=11%3E

eBay has EBC HH pads for the CBR250 (abs or non-abs) for 1400 baht shipped from the States.

These are the ABS pads:

The Brembo replacement brake pads are also available for ABS and non-ABS models and can be bought in Bangkok. Not sure about the price but I have the idea they where less than 1,400 THB (I can have it wrong).

Shipping is about 400 baht of the price so it's possible the Brembo pad are cheaper locally- HH fronts for my bike (which I just bought) were ~$65 for the set in be States.

No?

if i cant find them locally, i was thinking of making some out of yazakis from another model. (the actual friction material)

yeah yeah i know.

thanks for the tips.

I just ended up getting oem pads, the last pads were for the ABS model now that i think about it, i remember asking if they were abs or non abs. He told me they were abs and i said screw it i'll take them .... (bike is non abs)

Im not 100% certain if abs and non abs pads are the same part numbers, but these new pads are non abs for sure and they feel grippier than the previous pads and can see copper strands in them, they also feel like they have more rolling friction and feel slower than previous pads.

So i think it may be possible to get a little quicker by using the abs pads on non abs bikes at the expense of shorter pad life and slightly less stopping power

Or i might just be imagining it, wont know for sure until i know the part numbers.

Cost in CNX was 409 baht at Sangchai Honda...over at Niyom Panich cost is 500+ baht (last set)

thanks man

I like the standard OEM pads for the 250 - I even use them on a CB1. Grippy and good in the wet.

EBC pads available from http://www.euroautobreakers.com/ and e-mail contact is [email protected] - person who responds on that e-mail is British (I think) or other native English speaker. Prices are comparable with UK prices, service is good with fast delivery and they sourced some unusual pads for me in no time at all.
