Here are some aftermarket part numbers for LS650 Brake Pads and their Canadian price equivalents;

SBS #SBS581HF = #34.99Cdn (these are ceramic pads)

EBC #FA106 (also MTV 361-1065) = $33.99Cdn.

MBS #MBS581 = $19.99Cdn

Just bought the SBS ceramic pads myself ... they are made in Sweden and supposed to be very good ... haven't yet installed 'em though ...

I replaced the EBC organic pads after about 3-4k miles and put on the SBS ceramics about that many miles ago - Haven't pulled to have a look but from the outside I can still see quite a bit of line on the pads - so I'm either using the brake less or the SBS hold up much longer and I'm not seeing much wear on the rotor - some for sure at 21k miles - they seem to stop at least as well as the EBCs - neither work as well as the '02 - but it still doesn't have any miles on it.

Perry let was know if can feel any stopping difference between the SBS and Suz pads

Will do Reelthing ... but it's not likely that the new pads will be installed 'til Spring ... Ridin' weather's pretty much turned off for the season here in eastern Nfld. ... so sadly, over the next week or so my LS will be going into her annual Winter hibernation ... :'(

Kropatchek, yes, please, I'd appreciate that link, even if it is in German - I can always get somebody to help me wade through the difficult bits

Guys from the States, does this mean there is NO website in English where one can download a user's manual?

All, many thanks for the brake pad number for the front disc, now, for the drum shoes...

As for me providing info, I'm an enthusiast in British sports cars, and can provide tips tricks and lots of help for touring Europe. Wink

...I understand my offer is irresistible 8) but one helps with what he's got.

I haven't seen one. Most folks that don't have one get one from their dealer for about $15, I think. For maintenance, there is the Clymer's manual and the factory service manual. The Clymer's is pretty good and quite a bit cheaper than the factory manual but the factory manual is better IMO.

Dang I didn't know you put them anyway that early - does it always get bitter cold by Nov 1st? or is that insurance policy driven?

Well Reelthing ... some guys who have heated garages on the front of their houses and a nice paved drive right up to the garage, leave their Bikes on a battery tender and take 'em out once and awhile during winter. I don't have that luxury ... only have an un-heated 8ft x 14ft shed out back of my house ... so with the onset of colder/wetter weather this time of the year, it's just as well I put her in hibernation ... our Winters aren't as bitter cold as some think ... mostly hovering around the freezing mark from Dec. to March with sloppy, wet conditions. But we've have had very cold winter's with a lot of snow and very mild winters with hardly any ... out here in the North Atlantic, winter is like a box of chocolates ... you never know what you're gonna get!

Hi Reelthing; come up here and hang around the Canadian border in late October and early November, and you will see why us northerner's are thinking about winter storage.
Yep, we can have a few rare days of what we call "Indian Summer" here in October & Novenber, and we have our heavy leathers and thermals. We live for these few days of the year's "last loveliest smile" as autunm turns to winter.
But by the same token we get heavy clouds, icy rain, and dense fogs. The first spits of snow will arrive soon, and by December and January we are talking about snowfall measured in feet not inches. Oh yes and also temps. below zero with wind chills off the charts. We can't even stay warm in our cages wearing a parka with the heater going full blast! Shocked

So enjoy your endless summer down there. Up here summer is usually over before it starts. Undecided

PS; our climate does save wear & tear on those break pads though! Grin
