Product Information

Full details

The EBC HPSR Brake Disc (MD735RS) is designed for motorcycle enthusiasts looking to upgrade from stock braking components to a more reliable, high-performance solution. Engineered in the UK, these discs provide an immediate boost in stopping power and consistent performance under stress; however, the initial protective zinc coating requires a short break-in period before reaching maximum friction efficiency.

FAQs

Does this disc fit my motorcycle model?

The MD735RS is a specific fitment part. Please cross-reference your motorcycle's year, make, and model against the EBC catalog to ensure compatibility.

What is the purpose of the zinc coating?

The 3-micron zinc coating is applied to prevent the steel from corroding while in storage or on the shelf.

Do I need to replace my brake pads?

Yes, it is highly recommended to use new pads with a new disc to ensure even wear patterns and avoid damaging the new braking surface.

How long does the bed-in process take?

The bed-in period varies by riding style, but typically involves a series of controlled stops until the zinc coating is fully removed from the friction path.

Is this a direct replacement for my OEM disc?

Yes, the MD735RS is designed to be a direct replacement for your factory disc, offering improved performance over the original unit.

Troubleshooting

Braking feels spongy immediately after installation

This is typically caused by air in the brake lines, not the disc. Perform a full brake fluid bleed.

Noise or squealing during light braking

Ensure the zinc coating has fully worn away in the contact patch and that the brake pads are correctly seated.

Vibration through the lever

Check that the disc is mounted flush and that all mounting bolts are torqued to the correct factory specifications.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • 18% higher coefficient of friction for better stopping power
  • Enhanced resistance to corrosion and environmental damage
  • Weight-reducing contoured design improves handling
  • Durable, heat-treated construction manufactured in the UK

Cons

  • Initial zinc coating must be worn off before optimal performance is achieved
  • Requires professional installation to ensure safety
  • May require more frequent pad inspection during the initial break-in period

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper installation is critical for braking safety. Ensure the hub surface is perfectly clean and free of debris before mounting the MD735RS disc. Always use a torque wrench to tighten the mounting bolts to the manufacturer’s specific settings.

It is strongly recommended to install new, high-quality brake pads whenever replacing a brake disc to ensure even wear and prevent glazing. While the zinc coating protects the disc during transit, ensure you do not use aggressive solvents to clean the disc before the initial wear-in, as this can interfere with the chemical bonding process between the pad and the steel. Regularly inspect the disc for any signs of deep scoring or heat spotting.
