The brake pads aren't difficult to change. I pulled my front pads last year when a rock got stuck in less than 5 minutes and had them back in.

I heard that EBC makes really good Kevlar brake pads. I got a set for my car and they were a big difference over my stock ceramic pads.

They do make them for the Ninja 500.

Check out www.newportcycleparts.com or contact Beartooth Kawasaki and see if they carry them.
