I can definitely help you break them!

If you want performance pads (maximum stopping power) go for EBC HH pads AND stainless steel braided brake lines.

Besides, welcome to the forums, use SEARCH often, if you can't find the answer, THEN post question.

Hope yer brakes ain't broke.  If so, how did ya break 'em?  The WIKI is good medicine.

so when i change my braek pads i need to change my break ROTORS? o.O Lol my brakes aint broken ,

Rotors are not changed unless they warp or wear below their minimum thickness.  The minimum should be stamped somewhere on the rotors.

Break pads. Are they like break boards used in martial arts?

I vote the above quoted sentence the award for most varied spelling of the same word in one sentence - braek, break brake - one of them must be right, right?

What is "sintered"? Are they better? Worse? Same?  I know they are a little more expensive sooooo they must be better right?

Lol im having trouble understanding this, so what do i do if my brake pads wear out, do i change only the pads OR both rotors and pads cause in the wiki it has information about ROTORS which i dont noe wat they are.. jst gmime a simple as eg: "jst change pads" or "Both"

[bassmechanicsz]

just change pads.  If you rotors are warped or thinner than recommended then change them as well.

Dude. Google is your friend, okay.

Go to google and type in "Motorcycle brake rotor". Then click the Images option. THIS is the first result when I do it...

The rotor from a Suzuki Hayabusa

Now have a look at the front wheel of your bike. See anything that looks like that? Have a look at the back. See anything that looks like that?

Congratulation, you just found the Brake Rotor.
