    Looks like I need new ones soon. Will any do or do y'all have preferences?

    EBC brand is good but even the cheapest ones will work just fine. I use the cheapest ones with a shim to prevent squeaking. No guarantee the more expensive ones won't squeal.

      I went to Yamaha today. They want $140 for aftermarket EBC and they need to order it.

          I’ve been using SBS ceramic pads on my XS11 for a long time. I buy them on eBay.

            I use Sixity. They work great and the price is excellent.

                I've used the Sixity brand pads that Deebs linked, no need to spend more!
