All 650's Brake pads

[Sonx]

I have 20k+ miles and 5 track days on my bike and still have the original pads. 😂
I should probably just change them even though they're fine.

mine didn't need to be changed either but I switched out my OEM front brakes last week for EBC Sintered and it's night and day difference, would highly recommend.

Nice. Those are the ones I'll go with for sure after all these recommendations.

I find EBC pads eat your discs.

May someone tell me about the OEM brake pads of 650F is organic or semi-sintered?

They look sintered to the eye.

After searching the forum you'd have found that EBC HH are the best choice.

Should be about £35 to do the front (both discs) and about £16 for the rear.

Do you possibly have a link? I've looked around and am finding prices around £80-£90 for front and rear (3 pads)

here seems to be reasonable (about £44 for the front) https://www.cb650shop.com/en/honda-oem-parts/277-honda-oem-front-brake-pads.html
I think you need to bear in mind the prices you are quoting are for 2018, then world has gone a bit Mad since then!

Rears... https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/215284

Fronts... Ouch, pricey. 60 to 80 pounds for two sets.
Fa679hh is the part.

Tried ebc a while back, the rear pad split and I won’t be trusting those again. My usual pads which have been my go to since my 1998 hornet rusted and delaminated after less than a year and not even 3000 miles. Having had these trust issues, I have now fitted Honda at expense but the quality is there to see. Honda every time now. (See images, rear split ebc, and the delaminated ‘new’ front pad). For those wondering, I noticed the ebc rear lacking in stopping power, and I felt and heard the front delaminate while out, fortunately not far from home. The front could have quite easily fallen out leaving me without braking at all.

I have the pyramid pads, not really keen on eco them so lets see
