My front pads are making noise. This after it briefly felt like I lost front brakes. Then they pumped up. I'm fairly certain one of the pads has torn off the plate. Ergo, time for new pads.

I'd love to pick up EBC's put they don't seem to list any. What am I missing? Other suggestions?

May have just solved it. For others, EBC doesn't list the gen 2. However, it seems the gen 2 uses the same front brakes as the the 2013 YZF-R1 (and some other years too).

Now: How many of these are needed? I know I have dual rotors, so at least two, but it looks like each rotor has two sets as well.

And here's that answer too:

The pictures most sites show online for that set of brake pads isn't accurate. Max has a 3 piston front brake. For each caliper (we have two 2) we need a left and right set that covers 2 pistons, and another set that covers 1 piston.

While the pics don't show it correctly, the part number I showed above gives us exactly that. Basically we get 4 of the required pads, and that covers 1 caliper. So two sets are needed.

Here is a correct pic:
