Hello everyone, I am going to be replacing my brake pads before going to my first event of the season at Gingerman in June. Going to upgrading to Versah RJLs from OEM! In the past I would bed the pads in on the street but I can no longer do that with this bike so I am wondering how do I go about bedding in new pads at the track running in the advanced group? Thank you in advance!
Good move going with the RJL's. You'll be very happy with them. Just be careful until you get used to them. I switched from EBC-HH pads to the RJL's in the middle of a track day last summer. Normally I scrub the rotors with scotchpads and then bed the new pads as normal. Unable to do this at the track, I just dropped the new pads in and headed out. No problem at all. Just take it easy at turn one because you will definitely feel the improvement.
Thank you for the response! I was worried that it was going to be big deal to bed them in on the track. Didnt want to be more of a sitting duck than normal haha I guess altering all of my reference points now will be the next challenge
Nah, when I switched to Vesrah RJLs I was very impressed how quickly they were ready to go. A few nice hard stops and dragging the pad around a little bit and you're good to go. Just approach your normal brake marker incrementally until you get a feel for them. They're fantastic pads.
