I need to change brake pads on my 2006 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 motorcycle; this is a street bike/cruiser. There are many pads ,and the prices vary widely. What brand/material would you recommend.
Slashcan is complicated altering the fluid with bleeding. Two distinct things. Altering the fluid is listed as a carrier object, and desires to be done to hold fluid first-class, and hence its effectiveness. That is exceptional to the possibility of potentially allowing air to enter - which you could have carried out. You say you opened the screws on the grasp cylinder. Do you imply the screws on the brake callipers, or a screw on the handlebar end. The cylinder on the control bars is the grasp cylinder, as this feeds pressure to the calliper, or slave cylinders. Bleed screws on a motorcycle master cylinder are moderately infrequent. It's possible to introduce air into the hydraulics for those who use this incorrectly. Assuming you opened the bleed screws on the brake callipers, then you might have allowed air to enter in the event you released the brake lever at the same time the screw was open. This is given that the pistons may just transfer back as stress is launched - drawing in air if the screw was nonetheless open. If that is at all viable then you definitely will have to bleed the brakes. If you happen to do not then the brakes may just undergo serious fading if wanted urgently.
depends how hard you use the brakes... if the originals are OK then go with the same.. sintered metal pads from Ferodo are what I use...
