Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed by someone familiar with motorcycle brake systems. Before mounting, ensure the wheel hub surface is clean and free of rust or debris, as any unevenness can lead to disc run-out. Tighten all 5 bolts in a star pattern to the torque specifications provided by your motorcycle manufacturer.
Care instructions include keeping the braking surface clear of oils, grease, and brake fluids. When installing, it is recommended to clean the disc with a dedicated brake cleaner to remove any anti-corrosion coating applied during transit. Periodically inspect the disc for thinning or grooves to ensure safe operation throughout the riding season.
