    Has anyone used Vesrah RJL pads with ductile iron rotors?

    I have found a set of these for a good price, but the manufacturer recomends using their pads with their rotors.

    I don't want to go back to doing 30 stoppies in the pits to bed them in.

    i run rjl's on beringer full floating rotors(cast alloy, not ductile) w/ stock brembo/ducati calipers and mastercyl. very smooth application of pressure and feedback. conversely, you can endo at 140mph if you squeeze just a little harder.:D

    same goes for the rjls's on the gsxr w/ vesrah stainless rotors and, holy crap, i haven't found their limits. they're a little vague at full squeeze for my lack of experience. any pressure on the lever is an immediate response on the front end. kinda 'touchy' in a fuel injected sorta way. skill, technique, and smoothness may all be keys to their full potential.

    i did, basically, a sighting lap or two to bed them in. i don't think they even needed that other than to conform to any variations/grooves in the surface of the rotors. since the iron rotors are smooth and groove free, no issues...immediate bed in. i think, maybe a lap on the stainless rotors and i felt they were ready.

    prolly the best pads i've been exposed to. the list includes ferodo911*(i vaporized them), ebc hh(inconsistant feel), etc.

    you found what? a set of rotors or a set of pads?
    who's the mfg and what're they tryin' to sell ya?:D

    I have been running RJL's with stock stainless and just this year found and ran Yamaha kit floating stainless rotors.

    Like you, I found the Vesrah pads to work great, and very convenient with the lack of bed in needed.

    I don't know why yet, but I managed to cone one of the floating kit rotors at Beaver. Even if I could find a replacement from YEC, I'm sure the lead time is long.

    Which leads me to the Spiegler replacements. I can get them for a little cheaper than EBC's Pro Lights, and the last I talked to Moose, Vesrah didn't offer rotors for the R1 / R6 yet.

    The problem is, Spiegler only recomends using Corbon Lorain (sp.) pads with their rotors.

    It's good to see that you haven't had problems with the Vesrah/iron combo.

    I can concure on the Spieglerusa setup....

    Had it last year the the GSXR...plan on it this year for the R6

    and Carbon L has a good contin program

    Anybody else ever try RJL's with iron rotors?

    I don't know the details, but you have to use pads for iron rotors. They are different.
