Is there a better pad out there? Better than the BRP pad. My brakes on my 2011 squealed like a pig. Have they improved them on the 2015 RTs?

The original BRP brake system is notorious for noise. The Brembo's used on the 2013 + models are a big improvement in more ways than noise. Yet some still have the dreaded squeal.

The EBC Simi-Sintered for the 2008-2012 models stop better and last longer. Their 'Squeal' factor is as good or better than the OEM pads. But there are things that can be done at install to prevent the noise.

The EBC Fully Sintered for the 2013-2016 models stop quite a bit better and last longer.

Not too sure about the instructions in post #6, as I have yet to see an RT-S with fork legs and a center stand. Removing the wheels makes life a lot easier and the pistons need to be pushed back into their bores once the old pads are removed. Be very careful to check brake fluid level when you do this as the fluid may overflow the container. Also, apply brake anti-squeal to the back of the pads, otherwise the noise can be very irritating.

Yeah I didn't read those as closely as I should,I just sort of skimmed thru them. Thanks for catching that.
