Getting close to needing new front brake pads on my Monster 796 ABS. Does anyone know what compound the stock pads are: organic or sintered? I find the OEM pads a little weak.

Looking at either new OEM ones, or a good aftermarket like Ferodo or EBC. I've always ran sintered pads on previous sportbikes, and was wondering what people would recommend for the Monster. I'm an aggressive rider and like to have strong brakes.

Go with a sintered pad with an HH rating.

I like Dunlop pads, DP, but there are lots of good ones.
