Brake Pads

[Olgry1]

Just ordered my first set of brake pads and chose the Carbone Lorraine pads based on recommendations from Lee. Got them from Spiegler since Beemer Boneyard was out of stock for one of them and I did not want to wait.:

CL2396RX3 (rear)
CL1232XBK5 (front)

Anyone here use these and are they prone to squealing? Don't like squealing and my BMW pads have never made a single noise.

I will be doing an installation video of course and also a review at some point thereafter.

I used the same Carbon Lorraine brake pads, RX3 and BK5, on one of my previously owned sport touring bikes (2008 Triumph Sprint ST?). The pads worked well, did not squeal and appeared like they would last a long time.

When switching from one brand of brake pad to another brand I read that you should remove the residual brake pad material from the rotors before installing the new brake pads. To do this you should "rough up" and clean the surface of the rotor. I've used 3M red and or green pads with soap and water and scrubbed the rotor in a small circular motion to accomplish this. This or similar process is supposed to help the brake pads bed in and mate better with the rotors (sexual innuendos unintentional ).
Having said that I've found the BMW brake pads to perform well and last a reasonable period of time. Being the anal person I am I have found the process to replace the existing pads with new BMW pads to be easier with less "rough up" and cleaning required. Even though they are $$$ I now replace BMW pads with the same.
Last time I replaced original BMW pads was on a 2015 R1200RT with 30,000 miles on it. The pads still had a decent amount of material left but it was winter and I thought it was a good time to change them.
