I love it when brakes are bedded in properly.. same with getting brand new tyres scrubbed in!

Loads. I like the bite you get from the MRR. They suit my braking style more than the pads I took off.

The MRR pads are really affordable too aren't they?
Are those the Bendix or SBS pads?

They do look proper though, I bet it's got a nice burble.

I wasn't going to change the cans, but a bloke on the SX forum put them up for sale. SP Engineering, £400 new, done 6,000 miles, no marks - £200 delivered to my door. I wasn't going to turn that down.

I'll get a sound clip next weekend. It's nice much louder as the baffling is done in the box under the bike.

Re: 2014 Kawasaki Z1000SX ongoing review
Got a few funny looks this morning as the ACF50 burnt off ![Big Smile :D](./images/smilies/emoticon-0102-bigsmile.gif)
Pipes sound decent at low revs. Not much extra noise from them to be honest.

I've brought forward the service for the SX to next week. That chain is on it's last legs and I don't want to risk it for longer than needed.

Monty reminded me I always have stainless steel fairing bolts.
So I've ordered some for the SX![Big Smile :D](./images/smilies/emoticon-0102-bigsmile.gif)
