So, I picked up a new set of front brake pads for my f2 the other day, and was meaning to put them on yesterday, but when I took off the right front brake saddle I noticed either I got a wrong set of pads or my brake saddles are not stock. The Q is which one is it?


These are my front brake saddles, which I think should be original(?)


These are the pads I got, and the pads I have, I did some Digging, and turned out my pads are labeled FA203, however both pads are listed as "cbr600f 91-96" but that can`t be right, so I`m thinking they gave me the pads for an F3?

Gotta try to dig the receipt up from somewhere and try to get them to swap, they should have a record of what I`ve bought since I have a discount card, but if I`d find the receipt it should be easier to get new ones...

 

Maybe they are for the rear.

 

Those are rear pads.

 

lol ya those are reaars

 

hm. Might as well keep em and throw them on...However, need only one pair, so still have to return the other pack when I go to change my front tire... But thanks guys, this really helped!

 

Well when you redo front pads do all four

 

Naturally. The rule of thumb is when replacing brake pads into a vehicle, no matter how many wheels it has, ALWAYS replace ALL pads into one axle at the same time. I was meaning that I`d keep the other pair and get a refund-discount of the other for two pairs of front pads. Also am gonna give them a bit of friendly feedback about this, and maybe hope I`d get a few bucks off for an apology...

 

Well, I did some more digging, turns out those are not rear pads either, the rear pads for a PC25 600F2 are FA174, so those pads basically don`t have squat to do w/ my bike... Wonder where the seller guy came up with that number...

 

EBC FA226 pads are F3 (95-98)fronts, or mid-2000'sHornet 599 fronts.

According to the fitment list:

^ Thought so... Propably skipped a line on the screen when picking the shelf number or sth...
