When I bought my 81 XS400 SH I knew that the front caliper was starting to seize. When I got around to taking it apart several months back I found that the pads had worn unevenly. There was quite a difference in thickness between the top and bottom of the pads.
I was looking on the EBC website for the pads and found they had a nice line drawing of them. It showed them new with a taper. The inner and outer pads had opposite tapers so when they are placed together the backings are parallel.
I have never seen this before and don’t see how this could grip the rotor properly.
Any explanation or comments would be appreciated.
