2000 ST1100
Hello all,
I am a new member and recently acquired a 2000 ST1100 ( non ABS). I need front and rear pads and can not seem to find non organic/sintered pads for the front. There are EBC options for the 2000 ABS model, but not for the non ABS model. So my question is, and excuse my ignorance with this please, will the pads available for the ABS model work on my 2000 NON ABS model? If not, can you direct me to where I may buy a set of front and rear non organic/sintered pads? thank you,

ABS pads for '96 and later will not fit non-ABS models.

Also, EBC pads are/were available in different friction compounds, one set is GG and the other is HH. The OEM pads are HH, so don't use the GG version of EBC, they don't stop as well.

The easiest solution is to buy the OEM pads, which are about $50 a set, but I didn't shop all the usual places, just one.

The EBC fronts are FA142HH, which I can find with a web search for $54.39 for two sets (both calipers)

The comment about EBC pads not fitting correctly pertains to the ST1300, no problem with the 1100, I used them for many years.

For $29 they fit and work well, At the time I got a set money was a issue, Might not want to go track racing but on the country roads I ride I'm pleased with them. Will see if I can attach a picture of them.61kzpKa54DL._AC_SL1001_.jpg

Welcome Aboard
Most here use OEM brake pads as EBC pads have been known to not fit properly.
1996 and on ABS pads are bigger and will not fit. Non ABS pads throughout the years are the same.

Thank you! Seems like OEM is the way to go, most others use OEM based on the replies, I do appreciate it, thank you.

Thank you! I will be using OEM pads. I do appreciate your response.

ABSII pads will not work on your standard as ABSII has different calipers.
I've always used OEM pads for 1/2 million miles between 4 ST1100s and are still running the original rotors.

Thank you! I will be using the OEM pads for sure. I hope I get 100,000. miles out of this ST, right now it has 51,560. I do my own maintenance but the valve adjustment has me a little worried, but it does not need that now so I have time to read up on it.

Thank you, yes, seems like almost everyone uses OEM so that's what I will be buying. I have a Concourse and have always used EBC pads and really like the way they feel and perform.

Thank you, I saw these online and was considering them, my riding is usually two-up with luggage, long distance, rain and whatever.

With my first ST1100, I had the valves checked at the 'recommended' intervals.
When it was still in spec at 100,000 miles, valve checks went of my list of things to be done. ;)

if you've ever done adjustments on other bikes, the ST1100 is the easiest by far. They don't go out very often, but if you need to swap shims the cams come out with the timing belt in place, no timing chain to have to deal with to remove and replace them. You still need to pay attention to aligning the cams on installation, but its easier than on the typical cam chain bike.
