FAQs
Does this disc come with mounting hardware?
No, the package includes the disc only; please reuse your existing mounting bolts or purchase new ones per your motorcycle manufacturer's requirements.
Can I use any brake pad compound with this disc?
While it is compatible with most standard pads, EBC recommends using EBC-branded pads for the best performance and warranty compliance.
How often should I clean the floating mechanism?
Clean the bobbins every time you change your brake pads or whenever you perform a general wheel cleaning to prevent debris buildup.
Is the black hub color permanent?
The finish is designed for durability, but avoid using harsh acidic wheel cleaners that could potentially damage the coating.
What is the benefit of a floating disc over a fixed one?
A floating disc can expand outward as it heats up without warping, which prevents the vibration and fading commonly associated with fixed discs during heavy use.
Troubleshooting
Brake judder or pulsation
Check if the disc is mounted flush and clean the floating bobbins to ensure they move freely.
Excessive noise during braking
Ensure the brake pads are correctly seated and the mounting bolts are torqued to factory specifications.
Disc surface showing signs of heat spotting
Verify that the brake system is not dragging and that the caliper is sliding correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, verify that your motorcycle's rear hub matches the 130.2 mm internal diameter and the 150 mm fixing hole distance. Installation should be performed by a qualified technician. Always use a torque wrench to tighten the five 10.5 mm mounting bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque settings. For care, ensure the floating buttons or bobbins remain free of road grime and brake dust; use a soft brush and non-corrosive brake cleaner to keep the disc moving freely. Never use petroleum-based lubricants on the floating components, as these can attract debris.
