Hey everyone I recently purchased a 2006 Crf450x and it has a braking brand front caliper and I can’t find what brake pads it takes. They have a part number on them #6213591 but google search is coming up with nothing for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the site !!

They "should" take the same pads as OEM/stock ....

If you click on that link (the "Braking" website) it should bring you to the catalogue section of their website. All you need to do then is enter your make, cc, model, and year and it should pop up with some brake pad options for your calipers. Hope this helps you out .

Thanks for the replies! My problem is every picture I see of oem pads doesn’t look like the pads I have. I will try to post a picture of them

I can’t figure out how to upload a picture but they look like cbr1000rr pads with two slide pins

For pictures you need a hosting site like IMGUR or something , if using IMGUR , you upload your pics to it , then click on the image you upload , and go to the links on the right and you use the link they provide for Forums/Message Boards , then copy the link and paste it in your post

Looking at the link you provided , I looked at that pads offered , and they look like OEM 450X pads http://www.braking.com/catalogue/intro.php?lang=EN if yours do not look like those , maybe the prior owner got the wrong caliper ????? , can you contact the prior owner and see if he can give you some more info or receipts or part # of the caliper ????

Yeah they definitely look different than factory pads in that link. The guy I bought it from didnt build it so I tried messaging the guy he got it from so we’ll see if he responds

Thanks for the pic , yea that is definitely not a CRF pad ...... on a related note , when you post a link from IMGUR , look for the one that says "BBCode for Message Boards and Forums" , as shown in the pic below , as it will give a direct link to embed the picture in your post

it will look like this in your post [img]https:/ /i.imgur.com/HnPmgXU.jpg[/img]

But show up like this



But to answer your question , I think you will end up having to contact Braking , and submit a part # and ask them what exactly that caliper fits , because it should use OEM pads if it is for your bike ..... I think someone had one laying around and adapted it or just hoped for the best and installed it , not sure I would want that on my bike if it was not made for it ....you might be better off getting a OEM caliper from EBay or something .....

JimDirt thanks for the help I was thinking the same thing about just getting an oem caliper and I think I’ll need an oem rotor too because this has an aftermarket rotor as well with a homemade bracket for the caliper

Yea , especially if it is oversize ...... I guess the question is , if it is oversize , are you in actual need of it ?? , if you are casual riding , then all you need is the oem stuff , , again , EBay would net you all the stuff you need and if you look at the adds , some will include all the hardware necessary including bolts , lines , etc. I have even track ridden my 450X and the OEM stuff will stop the bike just fine ... my 2020 450R has a (OEM) oversize front rotor , and to be honest , it is waaaay too much brake , I lightly touch it with 1 finger and it wants to stop so fast it feels like you are going to go over the bars (seriously) , I would much rather have a older front brake on mine .... if I was doing 100 mph and needed to stop fast , that brake is great , but I will never use it to its capacity .... ever ....

You could probably get a complete setup on EBay for around $50.00 or so , rotor , caliper, mount , bolts , brake line ... , then you are set , you will just need to bolt it up , bleed it and go ....or stop as the case may be .... That is what I would do .... as it is obvious the setup you have is not correct for your bike anyway ....

Great info I will check that out! It’s a supermoto build so I’d like good front brakes for the street but I’m sure the stock setup would be sufficient for my style of riding
