FAQs
Is this disc a direct replacement for my stock brake disc?
Yes, the Brembo Serie Oro discs are designed to be fully interchangeable with original production discs for compatible motorcycle models. Always verify fitment based on your motorcycle's specifications.
What is the main advantage of a floating brake disc?
A floating disc allows the rotor to expand and contract independently of the wheel hub under heat, preventing warping and ensuring consistent braking performance and pad contact, especially under heavy use.
How do I bed in my new Brembo brake discs?
Bedding in typically involves a series of moderate stops from various speeds, allowing the brakes to cool between applications. Avoid hard braking during the initial 50-100 miles to allow the pads and rotor to properly mate.
Can I use any brake pads with this disc?
It is recommended to use high-quality brake pads that are compatible with stainless steel rotors. Consult your motorcycle's service manual or a qualified mechanic for recommended pad types.
What is the difference between a fixed and a floating disc?
A fixed disc is rigidly attached to the hub, while a floating disc has a rotor that is allowed to move slightly relative to the hub via mounting hardware. This allows for better thermal expansion management.
How should I clean my Brembo brake discs?
Use a dedicated brake cleaner and a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the rotor surface.
What is the rotor made of?
The braking rotor is made from high-quality stainless steel.
Troubleshooting
Brake judder or vibration
This can be caused by uneven pad material transfer, rotor warping, or debris between the pad and rotor. Ensure the disc is properly bedded in, clean the rotor surface, and check for any damage or contamination. If persistent, professional inspection is recommended.
Reduced braking performance
Check brake fluid level and condition. Inspect brake pads for wear and material compatibility. Ensure the caliper is functioning correctly and not seized. Clean the rotor surface. If the issue persists, consult a mechanic.
Squealing or noise during braking
New discs and pads may initially produce noise during the bedding-in process. Ensure correct pad material is used and that anti-squeal shims (if applicable) are installed correctly. Uneven rotor surface or contamination can also cause noise.
Disc shows signs of overheating (discoloration)
This may indicate excessive stress or improper bedding-in. Ensure adequate cooling and follow the recommended bedding-in procedure. If discoloration is severe or accompanied by reduced performance, the disc may need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This Brembo Serie Oro brake disc (Part Number: 78B40887) is specifically designed for the front axle of compatible KTM motorcycle models, including the ADVENTURE 1050 (2015-2018) and 1190 Adventure (2015-on), and 1290 Super Adventure. Always verify your motorcycle's exact year, model, and VIN to ensure proper fitment. The disc features a 320 mm outer diameter, 4.5 mm thickness, and 6 mounting holes.
Setup: Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic to ensure safety and proper function. After installation, a proper bedding-in procedure is recommended to mate the brake pads with the new rotor surface. This typically involves a series of moderate to firm stops from progressively higher speeds, allowing the brakes to cool between stops. Avoid hard, abrupt braking during the initial bedding-in period.
Care: Regularly inspect the brake disc for wear, damage, or contamination. Clean the disc surface with a dedicated brake cleaner and a lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or solvents that could damage the rotor surface or coatings. Ensure brake pads are compatible and in good condition. Monitor for any signs of judder or excessive heat discoloration.
