The Z900RS CAFE takes the T004: a 8.5 mm stack of ceramic-sintered material across 71.5 by 50.0 mm. The T004 carries EX Race, the control-oriented of ZCOO's two ceramic mixtures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe ceramic layer is sintered to the plate rather than pressed against it, which is what keeps the T004 together at the top of its temperature range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachined, not moulded: the T004 plate is cut to the Tokico outline rather than pressed to an approximate one\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic-sintered EX Race compound: on the Z900RS CAFE the braking force rises in proportion to lever pressure instead of snapping in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect replacement for the standard Tokico pad on the Kawasaki Z900RS CAFE - no shims, no spacers, no modification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWear indicator geometry unchanged from the standard Tokico pad, so the usual inspection still applies on the Z900RS CAFE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo warm-up needed: the T004 works at the first cold stop of the day, which is why ZCOO sells EX Race for road as well as circuit use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo things define how a T004 behaves: the ceramic mixture and the plate under it. Because the T004 is sintered rather than resin-bonded, there is no binder to cook out at the top of the range. Both details exist so the T004 keeps its pressure distribution honest as it wears down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerformance and Feel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eConsistency is the entire argument for the T004 in EX Race form. In exchange for a modest first bite the T004 gives the same bite on the tenth stop as on the first. On a Z900RS CAFE that means a brake which behaves the same in February traffic and on an August pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eZCOO catalogues the T004 for the Z900RS CAFE of 2018 to 2021. The same T004 shape covers 18 further machines in the 2026 catalogue. Front axle only. Before ordering, check that your caliper takes a pad of 71.5 mm length and 50.0 mm height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo ECE R90 type approval is documented for this pad. It appears neither in ZCOO's own catalogue nor on the European distributor's site, and no approval number is printed on the packaging data available to us. ZCOO itself describes the compound as suited to competition machines and road machines alike, but that is a description of the mixture, not a type approval. Until the distributor confirms an approval in writing, treat this as a track and competition part: in Germany a replacement brake pad without ECE R90 approval may not be fitted to a motorcycle used on public roads. Ask us before ordering if you need this clarified for your machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: Z-T004-EX (EAN 4950545750167)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad code: ZRM-T004C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompound: ZCOO EX Race - ceramic-sintered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad dimensions: 71.5 x 50.0 x 8.5 mm (L x H x thickness)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaliper family: Tokico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition: Front axle only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment: Kawasaki Z900RS CAFE, 2018-2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContents per pack: 1 set = 2 pads for one caliper; a machine with twin front discs needs two packs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoad approval: No ECE R90 type approval documented - track and competition use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: Okada Corporation, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ZCOO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53638291423498,"sku":"Z-T004-EX","price":138.0,"currency_code":"AZN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/T004-produkt_fadc2aa4-1db3-4299-97ee-8001d0a12024.png?v=1788778365","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-az\/products\/zcoo-ex-front-brake-pads-kawasaki-z900rs-cafe","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
