Product Information

Full details

This EBC X-Series Brake Disc is designed for Honda VFR 800 models from 2006-2009, offering an ultra-lightweight and high-performance upgrade for the front braking system. Its key benefit is improved braking responsiveness and heat dissipation due to its floating design and patented S-Drive button system. A potential consideration is that it's designed as an OEM improvement, meaning direct fitment is intended for specific models.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the S-Drive button system?

The patented S-Drive system allows the outer rotor blade to expand and contract freely with changes in temperature due to braking, preventing rivet lock and ensuring consistent performance without the risk of the disc warping.

Do I need to use specific brake pads with this disc?

For optimal performance and longevity, it is recommended to use high-quality brake pads that are compatible with EBC X-Series discs. Consult EBC's recommendations or a professional mechanic for specific pad choices.

How often should I check my brake discs?

It's advisable to inspect your brake discs regularly, ideally during routine maintenance checks, or at least every few thousand miles. Look for signs of wear, damage, and proper function of the floating components.

Is this disc a direct replacement for the stock front disc?

Yes, the EBC X-Series Brake Disc MD1157X is designed as an OEM improvement and is intended as a direct replacement for the front brake disc on the Honda VFR 800 models from 2006-2009.

What is the benefit of a floating brake disc?

A floating brake disc allows for independent movement between the rotor and the hub. This helps to prevent stress build-up, reduce warping under heat, and ensure consistent brake pad contact for improved braking performance and feel.

Can I use this disc for track days?

The EBC X-Series Brake Disc is designed for high-performance applications, including spirited riding and track use, due to its advanced materials and floating design which offer superior heat dissipation and consistent braking.

Troubleshooting

Brake noise or vibration after installation

This may be due to an incomplete bedding-in procedure. Re-perform the recommended bedding-in process. Ensure the disc is correctly mounted and that no foreign debris is present.

Reduced braking performance

Verify that the brake pads are compatible and correctly installed. Check for air in the brake lines or a worn master cylinder. Ensure the rotor surface is clean and free from contaminants or glazing.

Disc appears warped or uneven

While the floating design minimizes warping, excessive heat or improper installation could cause issues. Ensure the S-Drive buttons are functioning freely and not seized. If warping is confirmed, professional assessment is required.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: This EBC X-Series Brake Disc (MD1157X) is specifically designed for the front of the Honda VFR 800 models manufactured between 2006 and 2009. Ensure your motorcycle model and year match this specification before installation.

Setup:

  1. Professional Installation Recommended: While designed as an OEM improvement, it is highly recommended to have brake components installed by a qualified motorcycle mechanic.
  2. Bedding-In Procedure: After installation, a proper bedding-in procedure is essential to achieve optimal performance and longevity. This typically involves a series of moderate acceleration and deceleration cycles without coming to a complete stop, allowing the brake pads and rotor surface to mate correctly. Consult EBC's official documentation or your mechanic for the specific recommended procedure for this disc.
  3. Hardware Check: Ensure all mounting hardware is clean, torqued to manufacturer specifications, and that new brake pads are used for best results.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the brake disc regularly with a dedicated brake cleaner and a lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive materials that could damage the rotor surface.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the disc for signs of wear, scoring, or damage. Check the S-Drive buttons for any signs of looseness or damage.
  • Storage: If the motorcycle is stored for extended periods, ensure the brake system is protected from moisture and corrosive elements.
