Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: Ensure these brake pads are compatible with your specific motorcycle make, model, and year before purchase. Refer to your motorcycle's service manual or the SBS compatibility chart. The specific model referenced is for the Yamaha BT 1100 (2002-2006).
Setup: Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or individual with experience in motorcycle brake systems.
- Ensure the motorcycle is safely supported.
- Remove the caliper and old brake pads.
- Clean the caliper mounting points and caliper slide pins.
- Install the new SBS LS Street Excel Sintered Rear Brake Pads with the included springs.
- Reassemble the caliper and ensure proper function.
- Break-in Procedure: After installation, perform a gentle break-in by performing several light stops from moderate speed, gradually increasing the intensity over 20-30 stops. Avoid hard braking during the initial break-in period.
Care: Regularly inspect brake pads for wear. Clean the braking surfaces and caliper components periodically to ensure optimal performance and prevent premature wear. Avoid using abrasive cleaners directly on the pad material.
