Title: chain and brake pad replacement recomendations
Post by: airbrush on December 08, 2006, 11:08:38 AM
I need to replace my brakes and chain on my 2004 gs500f for spring. Can someone give recommendations on what type to get and a good source to order from in Canada?
Thanks.

Any Suzuki dealer in Canada should beable to hook you up. SBS brakes are an excellent choice and are usually pretty affordable.  :thumb:

As for chains I havent had to replace my GS one yet. On my YZ450F motocross bike I use nothing but D.I.D gold series (ERT) chains. Not to sure if there is such a thing for the GS  :dunno_white:. If you want replace it with another stock O-ring chain. They last long and are affordable i think. O-ring is excellent if you keep it clean, I find O-ring isnt bad running on the street.

OKKkkkkkk....

110 links of 520 o-ring, or x-ring chain; preferably D.I.D.

EBC GG (green pad) brake pads for the rear.
EBC, or SBS, HH (black) pads for the front.
