I should be getting my new 08 SD in a couple of weeks, but I'm concerned with all the posts about brake seizing issues. That is the last thing I want on my mine when riding. Should I change the OEM pads immediately after I pick up the bike? I've been told that FERODO make a fair replacement. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have been riding for 34 years, all types of bikes and have never had brakes seize. Could this be something with the Brembo calipers on this KTM model ?
Please lend me your knowledge Oh great ones of the Forum!!!!!!!

If the bike is "new" (as in, not previously registered), there's nothing to worry about: It will be under warranty for 2 years from date of purchase.

Not like you're going to be going down the road and then the brakes suddenly lock up. Best prevention is to use the bike regularly, change the brake fluid frequently, and keep the brakes clean. Its a problem that seems to occur more where the bikes are exposed regularly to inclement weather. If the problem occurs where one or more caliper piston(s) won't return, deal with it then - not really anything can be done in advance to ensure it will never occur.

No need to put the cart before the horse on this.
