FAQs

Is this disc suitable for my Kawasaki GPZ 1100 1997?

The MSW215 is listed for Kawasaki GTR 1000 (1994-1995) and Z 750 (2003-2006). Please verify the exact front brake disc specifications for your GPZ 1100 model, as fitment can vary.

What material is the TRW MSW215 brake disc made of?

The rotor is constructed from high-grade steel, and the inner ring of the floating disc is made of aluminum.

How do I clean the brake disc?

Use a dedicated brake cleaner and a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive materials. Ensure the disc is dry after cleaning.

What is the main benefit of a floating brake disc?

Floating brake discs allow the rotor to expand and contract freely with temperature changes without warping, and can help compensate for minor misalignment, leading to more consistent braking performance.

Do I need special brake pads for this disc?

It is recommended to use brake pads specifically designed for or compatible with floating brake discs to ensure optimal performance and prevent damage.

What is the outer diameter of this brake disc?

The outer diameter of the TRW MSW215 brake disc is 300 mm.

Can I use this disc for off-road riding?

This brake disc is designed primarily for street and sport riding applications. Its perforated design helps with cooling on the road, but may not be ideal for extreme off-road conditions where mud and debris can clog the perforations.

Troubleshooting

Brake judder or vibration

Ensure the disc is correctly mounted and torqued. Check for uneven wear or warping. Clean the mounting surfaces thoroughly. Verify compatibility with brake pads.

Reduced braking performance

Check for contamination on the disc surface (oil, grease). Ensure brake pads are not worn out and are compatible. Bleed the brake system to remove air.

Squealing noise during braking

This can sometimes be normal due to the disc material and pad combination. Ensure correct pad bedding-in procedure was followed. Check for debris lodged between the pad and disc.

Disc surface discoloration (blueing)

Indicates excessive heat buildup. This may be normal under heavy braking but could signal an issue if consistent. Check brake pad condition and caliper function.
