my brakes are pretty new but they got oil and fluid all over them and will not grab anymore...my friends 250 stopped INSTANTLY as i tapped lightly...
so i am looking for new pads and i see a list of different types and models...
for an 01 cr250 i see some that are
full padding no cuts in them
full padding with cuts
carbone lorraine
ceramic
kevlar carbon
semi metalic
severe duty
sintered
why so many types and what is the difference if one has cuts in them? i noticed some are recangular, some are curved rectangle, some are square, and some are just longer rectangles...which do i get they all say 95-01 cr250 brake pads..

im willing to bet, half the pictures you saw were "stock" photos, IE: not for your application, just a photo to show what they're selling
either get OEM (they're cheap) or get a pad that matches OEM. ive leared one thing, when dealing with pads, the OEM are usually of higher quality.

Um, your wasting your money on brake pads man, you need a fork seal kit first !

I think going for sintered pads front and rear $16? but are they really bad when wet? i will be riding all season and want to have good brakes that last for some time...

keep in mind aftermarket makes different compounds for different uses. Now if you select the wrong compound, then ya you wont be satisfied. Same thing with automotive brakes.
pick the right compound and it will be an improvement over stock.

Yes I agree. but if you ride in alot of different condition stock pad, seem to work the best, for me. thats all i was saying.

i dont have any connection to getting oem brake pads for awhile so i am tempted to just go for the sintered HH pads...i wanted oem but none have them yet...
only bad thing i read is sintered is harder on ur pads and can really damage your entire braking system (eg caliper, piston) is this true? what are the bad from these pads?

AP racing ORR, as per CRFstuff.com hands down the best pads I have used, in any condition, great feel, great power, great quality, pretty decent life span and cope with the heat too, i ride my rear brake at times, and with OEM, and some other brands i would get some fade. I have never experienced this with the AP's.
