Gee, I have never had that problem with the Neutron brake pads. Perhaps you have some oil on the new brake rotor? If not, a few hard stops in a large parking lot should fix the problem.

I use this in my triumph speed triple for track days. Higher boiling temps and incredibly stable even in wet conditions. Expensive...but worth it for anyone who worries about brake fade. Good for regular riding too.

I rode most of the day yesterday and the pads worked very well. |

Thanks Superdude. I'm tempted to get a Street Triple, I had a Tiger 1050 which shares the Speed Triple engine, great bike. |

yes IMO there is not many motors out there as great as the triumph triple. My buddy has a street triple and he kills me in the corners, except when we switch bikes and then I kill him. Speed triple definitely a brute compared to the streetie but street triple just about as fast and handles way better. Both great bikes. The tiger 1050 is a great bike too. I originally wanted a tiger adventure or explorer but then I found out about the RX-3 and got that. Glad I did because now I got to keep both bikes instead of selling my speed triple and dropping 10k on the tiger.

Funny I'm debating selling my Stelvio and getting a Street Triple as I miss a good handling triple and the RX3 is stealing all the ADV work from my Guzzi! |

wow those are nice I love the finish and details on those Stelvios. never ridden one though but some serious eye candy, pretty much like every other guzzi is. In my short 10+ years of riding I've never been more happy with my stable of motorcycles than I am right now. RX-3 for utility/offroad/jaunts around town and up the mountains, my triple when I want to feel cool again and take it out lay into some corners, and a 650 nighthawk for a buddy bike/beater bike/project to tinker on bike. Definitely go test ride a street triple I think you'll love it

Heavy is really nice in Utah on long flat stretches at 85mph in wind but not so good in NY where everything is slower speeds and lighter weight bikes are much easier to live with. I need to get a good picture of the RX3 and the Stelvio next to each other, both are the fastest color, orange |
