Went to my local Stealer for stock Yamaha front Brake Pads. $70. I can live with that. Hey, he says for one side only. What! No shite. I can buy brake pads for all 4 sides of my Kia for less than that. Went on line. About $120. for a set. Still crazy. I always had good luck with stock brake pads on all my other bikes over the years so got hung up on OEM. EBC are about $90. here. Are they any good? Will they last as long? Talk about Sticker Shock! :'(
Find another dealer, or another source for your OEM Yamaha pads... That dealer is trying to knock your head off. I paid about $40 US per caliper for Yamaha OEM pads from my dealer (about $120 to replace both front and rear pad sets at 16,500 miles, and there was a lot more pad material left).
Part numbers are as follows if you want to shop around on the 'net for 'em:
Front Yamaha brake pads: 2C0-25805-00-00 (per caliper)
Rear Yamaha brake pads: 3D8-W0046-00-00
These are the latest Yamaha part numbers. You can also look 'em up using the older, original part numbers...
Front: 2C0-W0045-00
Rear: 1D7-W0046-00
Good luck!
