Product Information

Full details

The MTX Performance Rear Solid Round Brake Disc is designed for motorcycle enthusiasts and riders of the Kawasaki GTR1000 seeking a reliable, high-performance upgrade over stock braking components. Engineered with professional racing experience, this disc delivers superior heat management and consistent stopping power due to its high-quality Japanese stainless steel construction; however, users should ensure their current brake pads are in good condition to avoid premature wear on the new rotor surface.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this disc compatible with other Kawasaki models?

This specific part (MDS03051) is designed for the Kawasaki GTR1000. Please verify your specific bike model and year before purchase.

What is the recommended bedding-in procedure?

Perform several moderate-speed stops, allowing the disc to cool between cycles, to ensure even transfer of pad material onto the rotor surface.

Does the disc come with new mounting bolts?

No, the disc does not include mounting hardware. It is recommended to use the manufacturer-specified bolts or purchase new ones if the originals are damaged.

Can I use sintered brake pads with this disc?

Yes, the SUS 420 stainless steel is designed to be compatible with various pad compounds, including sintered, organic, and ceramic.

How do I know when the disc needs to be replaced?

Measure the thickness with a micrometer. If the thickness has reached the service limit specified in your Kawasaki GTR1000 service manual, it must be replaced.

Troubleshooting

Brake judder or pulsation while stopping

Check that the disc is flush against the hub and all bolts are torqued evenly. Inspect the wheel bearings for play.

Excessive squealing during braking

Ensure the brake pads are not glazed and are properly seated. Apply brake anti-squeal paste to the back of the pads.

Rapid or uneven disc wear

Verify that the brake caliper slide pins are moving freely and the piston is not seized.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic to ensure safety-critical components are torqued to factory specifications. Ensure the wheel hub is clean and free of debris before mounting the disc. When installing, always use a thread-locking compound on the bolt threads and follow a star-pattern tightening sequence. For maintenance, clean the disc surface regularly with a dedicated brake cleaner to remove road grime and brake dust. Avoid contact with oil, grease, or silicone-based lubricants, as these can permanently contaminate the friction surface. Always verify the disc thickness periodically; if the rotor wears below the manufacturer's recommended minimum, it must be replaced immediately.
