FAQs

What material is the MTX Performance Front Solid Round Brake Disc made from?

It is constructed from Japanese SUS 420 stainless steel.

Is this disc a direct replacement for the stock part?

Yes, it is designed as a direct replacement for the Original Equipment (OEM) part.

What does 'heat-treated to HRC 36±2' mean for performance?

This heat treatment process ensures the disc has optimal hardness for durability and consistent braking performance, resisting wear and deformation under heat.

Do I need to bed in the new brake disc?

Yes, a proper bedding-in procedure for both the new disc and new brake pads is essential to achieve optimal performance and longevity of the braking system.

Can I use any type of brake pads with this disc?

While designed to work with OEM specifications, it is best to use high-quality brake pads recommended for your motorcycle model. Consult your mechanic for the best pad choice.

What are the technical specifications of this disc?

Key specifications include an Outer Diameter of 256mm, Inner Diameter of 144mm, Bolt Hole Circumference of 166mm, 4 Bolt Holes of 10.5mm, and a thickness of 3.5mm (minimum 3mm).

Is professional installation required?

While not strictly mandatory, professional installation by a qualified mechanic is highly recommended to ensure correct fitting, torque, and safety.

Troubleshooting

Brake disc is noisy after installation.

Ensure the disc was installed correctly with the proper torque settings. New pads may require a proper bedding-in procedure. If noise persists, inspect for any foreign debris or potential warping.

Reduced braking performance.

Check brake pad wear, brake fluid level, and ensure there are no air bubbles in the brake lines. Verify the disc is clean and free from contaminants. Ensure the correct brake pads are installed.

Warped or uneven braking feel.

This could indicate overheating or improper installation. Inspect the disc for any signs of discoloration or distortion. Consult a professional mechanic for diagnosis and potential replacement.

Disc appears to be corroding.

Surface rust can occur with moisture exposure on stainless steel, especially in humid conditions. This is usually superficial and can be cleaned off. Persistent or deep corrosion may indicate a material defect or prolonged neglect.
