Product Information

Full details

This Apico Front Brake Disc is designed for motocross, enduro, and trials riders seeking an upgraded braking performance for their Yamaha YZ models. It offers enhanced stopping power and a factory-team aesthetic, replacing OEM parts with a larger, more durable stainless steel rotor.

FAQs

Will this disc fit my 2018 Yamaha YZ model?

This specific Apico Front Brake Disc is listed for model years up to 2017 for standard replacement and up to 2015/2016 for oversize fitment. Please check the detailed compatibility list or consult Apico for 2018+ fitment options.

Do I need a new brake caliper for the oversize disc?

No, the Artrax adaptor included with the oversize disc is designed to allow the use of your existing brake caliper by repositioning it to align with the larger 270mm rotor.

How often should I replace my brake disc?

Brake disc replacement depends on usage and riding conditions. Regularly inspect for wear, scoring, or warping. A common indicator for replacement is when the disc thickness reaches its minimum wear limit, typically specified by the manufacturer.

Is stainless steel prone to rust?

While stainless steel is highly corrosion-resistant, it can develop surface rust under certain extreme conditions. Regular cleaning and maintenance will prevent this.

What is the difference between the standard replacement and oversize fitment?

The standard replacement version is a 270mm disc that fits models already using a 270mm disc or as a direct upgrade for specific models. The oversize fitment is also a 270mm disc but is intended for models that originally came with a smaller 250mm disc and includes an adaptor to facilitate the larger size.

Can I use this disc for street riding?

This disc is designed for off-road performance applications (motocross, enduro, trials). While it may function on a street-legal dirt bike, its performance characteristics are optimized for off-road use. Check local regulations regarding aftermarket brake components for street use.

Troubleshooting

Brake noise (squealing or grinding)

Ensure the disc and brake pads are clean and free of dirt or debris. Check for proper pad alignment. If noise persists, inspect pads for wear or hardening.

Reduced braking performance

Check brake fluid level and condition. Inspect brake pads for wear. Ensure the disc surface is clean and free from grease or contaminants. Verify proper installation of the disc and caliper.

Disc wobble or vibration

This may indicate a warped disc or improper mounting. Check that all mounting bolts are tightened correctly and that the disc is not damaged. If wobble persists, the disc may need replacement.

Difficulty fitting the oversize disc

Ensure you are using the correct Artrax adaptor for your specific model. Double-check that no other modifications to the forks or caliper mounting are required for your motorcycle. Consult a professional mechanic if unsure.

  • Oversize Fitment (270mm): Yamaha YZ 125/250 (2008-2016), YZF250 (2007-2015), YZF450 (2008-2015). Requires included Artrax adaptor.

Setup:

For oversize fitment, ensure the Artrax adaptor is correctly installed according to its instructions, aligning the new disc with the caliper. Ensure all mounting bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications. For standard replacement fitment, the disc should mount directly using existing hardware or specified replacements.

Care:

Clean the brake disc regularly with a dedicated brake cleaner or a mild degreaser and a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the surface. Inspect the disc for any signs of wear, warping, or damage before each ride. Ensure brake pads are clean and free of debris.
