    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Brake Pads?

My son also has a GSX400F and we recently put SBS pads on front and rear. They work fine so far.

If you do not have a maintenance history of your bike from the previous owner, I would strongly suggest that you rebuild the front and rear calipers as well as front and rear master cylinders with new OEM seals. Do not trust aftermarket parts for this job. Just think of grabbing front brake when you really need it, only to find the lever coming back to the bar, to put you off considering aftermarket brake parts.

You cannot imagine how much gunk builds up in the calipers. The only way to ensure safe, efficient braking again is to do complete caliper and master cylinder rebuilds together with hose replacement.

Post up some pictures of your bike. I will search my archives for a picture or two - I know I have some of that nasty looking caliper!
 
Hi,

I use EBC pads. The sintered pads may stop a little quicker but will eat your rotors. I like the Organic Kevlar pads.

Thank you for your indulgence,
