1. Definitely an improvement!
Definitely made difference over stock r3 pads. I got more lever feedback after installing these which was super easy. Thank yamaha! It took all of 20 minutes my first time changing them. I was gonna be installing Speigler brake lines as well but I unfortunately rounded off the bleeder screw on the front caliper.... I Definitely recommend these over stock pad. At a great price you can't go wrong. I'm fortunate enough to live by stg so I placed my order and the had it ready for pick up in an hour.
