Recently, I had my tires changed. During the tire change, I learned that my front brake pads were worn and required changing. So, I ordered the EBC Sintered Double-H Brake Pads. Anyway, I found with the OEM pads that I had to squeeze really hard for them to really grip, and I was hoping that the EBC would grip a lot better, with less effort. With the help of a friend, we changed the pads, and I noticed a big difference in stopping with the EBC Sintered Double-H Brake Pads installed. I hardly have to squeeze the front brake lever for stopping in a timely manner and/or slowing down. I am really happy with their efficiency.
I didn’t think anything else about it until a few days ago when I noticed my brake lights not being activated because I don’t have to squeeze the front brake lever that hard for my bike to come to a stop in a typical stopping time. In other words, I have learned that the amount that I have to squeeze the brake lever for my bike to stop or slow down in city/road driving is not activating the brake lights. I would have to squeeze the front brake lever as I would with the OEM brake pads for the brake lights to be activated, but that would result in me locking up my front tire and/or causing me to come to a really abrupt stop with the new EBC pads. I am wondering if anyone has experienced this phenomenon. In addition, I am wondering if anyone knows if I can adjust the switch on the front brake lever so that it is more sensitive and triggers easier so that my brake lights are activated without squeezing the lever hard.
Thanks
