  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

What's better Kevlar or sintered metal brake pads? Organic wear very quickly but less wear on disc correct?

Also do late 90s/early naughties ktm rear pads fit the wr250/300(the bigger pads/caliper )?

Cheers
 
Dunno about the bigger KTM pads but l stick to sintered pads for feel and braking...chews up the disc's more especially in sand riding but then again sand riding chews any pad and disc.
 
I switched to EBC red carbon pads on the front (FA181x) and lovin it :thumbsup: great feel and braking power, nice to that rotor too. On the rear I stick with sintered copper pads for the consistent performance in all conditions. The EBC MXS208 includes new pins and clips, work great and don't chew up the rear rotor.
MXS181 are the front sintered pads with new pins and clips.

:cheers:

ps: From EBC, MXS181 (sintered front) fits 94-2012 KTM
 
Yeh ktm fronts are the same for 20 odd years jus the rear from the late 90/early 00s was wondering if they used the older style big caliper the wr300s run?
