What crosses over from other bikes to my 2011 250. Wire around rear wheel yesterday knocked out cotter pin on brake pin letting pin fall out. Which in turn let pads fall out but not before breaking one in half. 4 sets of used pads from my 07 don't work. Rode for 4 more hrs no rear brake not fun . Brake pin will be saftey wired from now on. First real ride on my 11 with core exp Love it best bike I've riden to date. Exp works awesome. Its like cheating on tight single track.

I just installed EBC rear pads number fa367r, I blew my rear pads out in two rides so will try these sintered. EBC stated to not use the factory shims on their pads so I did not, didn't say why, fit perfect, ran it around the yard enough to seat them in, noticeably more "sticky" than the oe, not as progressive a brake feel, however, once stinkin hot, they maintain the sticky but become more progressive? regardless, that is a good part number to cross if needed.
And yes, I keep my eye on the cotter pin on each ride, and have the pin safety wired. I saw this "threaded" stainless pin mentioned here on ebay, for both front and rear, no directions, so I'm guessing you have to tap out the caliper to install. I would likely use this if I were to lose my original, might as well try it if you have to buy one anyway, would still recommend crossdrilling the head and safey wire regardless.

The stock caliper is already threaded for the regular pin.
Yes, 95'-07' I believe.
