FAQs
Is this disc a direct replacement for my Honda VFR800 X Crossrunner?
Yes, the MTX Performance Rear Solid Round Brake Disc (MDS01075) is designed as a direct replacement for the stock rear disc on Honda VFR800 X Crossrunner models from 2011 to 2014.
Do I need special tools to install this brake disc?
While basic tools are needed, a torque wrench is essential to ensure the disc is secured to the correct manufacturer specifications. Professional installation is highly recommended due to the critical nature of brake components.
What is the advantage of the SUS 420 stainless steel material?
SUS 420 is a high-quality stainless steel known for its strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. Heat treatment further enhances its performance under the high temperatures generated during braking.
How does the lightening and drill hole pattern improve performance?
These patterns reduce the disc's weight and increase its surface area, which aids in dissipating heat more effectively. This helps prevent brake fade and maintains consistent stopping power.
What is the minimum thickness specification and why is it important?
The minimum thickness is 5mm. This is crucial for safety. Once the disc wears down to this thickness, it must be replaced to ensure structural integrity and reliable braking performance.
How should I break in my new brake disc?
A proper bedding-in procedure is essential. This typically involves a series of moderate stops from increasing speeds, allowing the disc and pads to mate properly. Consult your mechanic or the manufacturer's recommendations for the specific procedure.
Can I use this disc with my existing brake pads?
It is recommended to use new brake pads when installing a new brake disc to ensure optimal performance and prevent premature wear. Ensure any replacement pads are compatible with stainless steel discs.
Troubleshooting
Brake judder or vibration
Ensure the disc is correctly installed and torqued. Check for any debris between the disc and hub. If vibration persists, the disc may be warped, requiring replacement. Ensure brake pads are properly seated and bedded-in.
Reduced braking effectiveness
Verify that the brake pads are new and correctly installed. Check brake fluid level and condition. Ensure there are no air bubbles in the brake lines. Bed-in the new disc and pads thoroughly.
Unusual noises (squealing, grinding)
Squealing can sometimes occur with new pads and discs until fully bedded-in. Grinding noises may indicate debris or worn pads. Inspect for foreign objects or excessive pad wear.
Disc looks discolored (blueing)
Temporary blueing can indicate the disc has reached high temperatures. This is normal under heavy braking but excessive or repeated blueing may suggest a cooling issue or an excessively hard braking style.

- Cleaning the mounting surface on the hub.
- Installing the new MTX brake disc, ensuring all bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications.
- Reinstalling the rear wheel and ensuring proper alignment.
- After installation, perform a brake bedding-in procedure to mate the new disc with the brake pads. Consult your mechanic for the correct procedure.
Care:
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the brake disc surface with a motorcycle-specific brake cleaner and a clean, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the disc for any signs of excessive wear, warping, or damage. Check the thickness against the minimum specification.
- Pad Wear: Ensure your brake pads are in good condition and replaced when worn to prevent damage to the new disc.
- Environment: While stainless steel offers corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to salt or harsh chemicals can still affect its appearance and performance over time. Clean the disc after riding in adverse conditions.
