2012 Roadster Front Brakes

[1olbull]

Last minute check before riding out for Montrose and I discover front brake pads are like a sixteenth inch!
I found me some OEMs at the local dealer. QUESTION: I was told the front brake pads are different for different vin numbers of the 2012 Roadster models. WHT? Is this for real and why are not ALL Rocket models the same?

Be surprised if there are different pads other than maybe ABS non ABS models .. pretty sure they have the same callipers throughout ..as far as I know anyway mate.

just had a look at EBC catalogue and they list the same pads for STD, Classic's and Touring no listing for Roadster...... go figure

 

[HansO]

Metalgear list same pads for all Roadsters and ALL models including STD and Classic's

Pads are the same for all models mate. Trust me.

And if your local Triumph dealer don't have it, go see Suzuki. It's the same pads as on the M109 & C109.

Just order them from Flipmeister.

Since someone might see this when searching:

EBC HH Sintered pads last significantly longer than OEM and provide more initial bite. Usually they can be found for $35.00 a pack, 2 packs are needed. The bite ramps up the hotter the pad gets, so if you are doing hard brake from high speeds down, be aware as they heat they develop more friction so you end up backing off the lever rather than increasing pressure. Fully recommend the switch to HH Sintered pads as a rule. They also perform noticeably better in the wet than OEM triumph pads do.

You can also order the front pads for 2002-2006 Daytona 955i, same brakes.
