Keep your J-Series Royal Enfield’s front braking quiet, precise, and safe with the genuine RAB00097/A Front Brake Caliper Wear Pad (Shim). This OEM wear pad sits between the brake pad backing plate and the caliper body/retainer, damping vibration, preventing metal-to-metal contact, and helping pads retract evenly after you release the lever. The result is reduced brake squeal, more consistent bite, and longer pad and disc life.

Designed for the front caliper on Classic 350 Reborn (BS6), Meteor 350, and New Bullet 350, RAB00097/A matches factory thickness, profile, and spring pressure zones so the pad stack height and alignment remain to spec. If your front brakes rattle, squeal, or show uneven pad wear, replacing a bent, corroded, or missing wear pad restores OEM performance.

⚠️ Fitment check: this is a small, model-specific part. Match the printed part number (RAB00097/A) and compare the shim’s outline to your original before ordering.

FAQs:

  1. What does a front caliper wear pad/shim do?
    It sits behind the pad to dampen vibration, reduce squeal, and keep the pad face aligned, protecting parts from wear.

  2. Do I need one or two?
    Single-disc front setups use one shim per pad

  3. Will this fit the rear brake?
    No. RAB00097/A is for the front caliper only; rear uses a different part number.

  4. Signs my shim needs replacement?
    Persistent squeal/rattle, uneven pad wear, or a missing/bent/corroded shim during pad changes.

  5. Can I use it with aftermarket pads?
    Yes—if the pad backing plate matches OEM shape and your caliper accepts the shim profile/thickness.
