FAQs
Does this disc include brake pads?
No, the Brembo Serie Oro 78B40888 is a disc-only component. It is recommended to use new brake pads whenever installing a new rotor.
Can I install this on a motorcycle that came with fixed discs?
Yes, provided the disc dimensions and mounting pattern are compatible with your specific motorcycle's hub.
Why is there movement between the inner and outer part of the disc?
That movement is the 'floating' aspect of the design, which allows the disc to center itself for optimal pad contact and better thermal expansion control.
How often should I clean the floating rivets?
It is best practice to check the rivets during every tire change or pad service to ensure they can move freely.
Is this product suitable for racing?
Yes, the Serie Oro line is designed for high-performance use, including track days and competitive riding.
Troubleshooting
Audible clicking or light rattling sound
A small amount of movement in the floating disc is normal by design; however, if the rattling is excessive, check if any drive pawls have developed play due to wear.
Brake judder during engagement
Inspect the rotor surface for uneven pad deposits or ensure the rotor mounting bolts were tightened to the manufacturer's specific torque sequence.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior heat dissipation for reduced brake fade
- Precision-engineered for consistent performance
- Durable construction with high-quality materials
- Optimized geometries for better braking feedback
Cons
- Higher initial cost compared to standard fixed rotors
- Floating mechanism requires regular cleaning to prevent seizing
- Not compatible with all entry-level motorcycle brake calipers
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed by a qualified technician to ensure all torque specifications are met, particularly regarding the mounting bolts on the wheel hub. Before the first ride, always perform a bedding-in process by executing a series of controlled stops to transfer material from the pads to the rotor.
To maintain the floating function, ensure the drive pawls remain free of heavy grit or debris. Clean the area around the rivets periodically with brake cleaner and a soft brush to prevent the 'floating' action from becoming restricted by accumulated road grime or brake dust.
