Kawasaki pads are the way to go.

OK, they're expensive... but I guess worth it. I heard EBC was pretty good too, any thoughts ?

That's what I've been using. Like you, no complaints.

I've been using Sixity pads for years. They work great.

All I can find on the site is the service manual. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place.

I don't recommend sinistered on the rear. I had a pair that was so noisy when I drug just a bit of rear that I had to take them off.

Not disagreeing with your opinion but I'm pretty sure the bikes came with sinistered pads from the factory.

Personally no. They have come very highly recommended for their stainless steel lines and brake pads from several people I know who are in the powersports business. I do believe we also have members here using their brake lines and pads.

Question about the pads...
I got a set of these from China: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00V...ilpage_o03_s00 Whats the worst that can happen with these chinese pads? noisy? bad duration? Or could they be seriously dangerous? I was considering installing them and seeing how long they last, and if theyre crap, install some kawa or EBC. Any input? (keep in mind, this is coming from someone who never held brake pads in my life so go easy on me...)

I need to install pads also. I bought Sixity pads but used them on the 900, went back to there sit and can't get them now. I saw where Racin Ray bought DP brake pads, the're a little more expensive than ebc but less than kawa pads. I think 60+ a set for kawa pads is crazy. I was thinking of going DP or EBC any thoughts.
