I am thinking of trying new pads on the track bike.
As the title states just wondering what's the best way to bed in new pads at the track.

Scrape em on some concrete before you put em in, a couple of laps and they should be fine...

and chamfer the leading edges, if your keen...

How easy should I go in those 2-3 laps Dave?

Not too easy, just test em out, get some feel, get some heat into em and there fine.

Heres some extra info..

....fighting the temptation to post re......Dave....brake pads.....turn 4........must fight it.........Aaaaaaaarghhhhhh

Do tell Glen.

Hence how I know how to bed new pads in, with very little notice...

The hot tip is, make sure the pad retaining bolts are tight...

Thanks Dave
