Motorcycle Brake Pads for the Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200

The Harley-Davidson Sportster is a line of motorcycles produced since 1957. The Sportster brand encompasses a wide range of 1200cc models, including the XR1200 and the XL1200. If you are experiencing problems with your brake pads on your Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200, then these replacement parts can help you fix them.

The pads decelerate the bike by making contact with the brake rotor to stop the wheel from spinning. When you press down on the brake pedal of your motorcycle, the master cylinder transmits hydraulic pressure to the brake caliper at the wheel. The pistons on the calipers force the pads to clamp down on the spinning rotor. The friction created by the pads reduces the speed of the motorcycle by converting kinetic energy into heat.

The most common reason why they go bad is that they naturally wear down over time. The longevity of the pads depends on numerous factors, including the miles driven and the conditions in which it was driven. If you use your Sportster frequently, you will need to replace the pads at regular intervals. One sign that you need to replace the pads is that the friction lining has worn down slightly. You may also hear a high-pitched whining or a grinding noise emanating from your pads. The grinding noise may be a sign that the metal part of the pad is making too much contact with the rotor. This can not only cause damage to the rotor but also reduce the effectiveness of the brakes. You should stop using your bike and replace the pads immediately. It is a good idea to be proactive and inspect the pads on your Sportster routinely.

That depends on how you use your bike. There are generally three types of pads available: organic, sintered, and semi-sintered. Organic ones are made from a variety of different organic fibers that produce a softer feel. This gives you more control at lower speeds, but they are less tolerant of heat at higher speeds. Sintered pads are made from fusing together various metallic particles such as copper. Sintered pads are more resistant to heat, fading, and general wear and tear, and they handle better in a wider range of driving conditions, but they also produce more friction on the rotors, so you will have to replace your rotors more frequently. Semi-sintered pads combine the softer feel of organic material with the durability of the metallic materials, so you get some of the upsides and the downsides of both. Organic, sintered, and semi-sintered brake pads are all available for the Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200. However, before purchasing any replacement parts, you should make sure that the pads are compatible with the model and year of your Harley-Davidson Sportster.
