Product Information

Full details

This Brembo Motorcycle Serie Oro Floating Brake Disc is designed for riders seeking enhanced braking performance and durability. Its key benefit is improved stopping power and control through advanced materials and precision engineering. A potential caveat is that brake discs are sold individually, requiring careful verification of motorcycle needs before purchase. The disc features a high-durability stainless steel braking surface, a 10-drive pawl connection for better torque transfer, and a lightweight CNC-machined anodised aluminium hub for superior thermal and mechanical stress resistance.

FAQs

Are these discs sold as a pair or individually?

Brake discs are sold individually. Please ensure you order the correct quantity for your motorcycle's needs.

What is the main advantage of a floating brake disc?

A floating design allows the braking surface to expand and contract with temperature changes independently of the hub. This prevents the disc from warping under heat, maintaining consistent braking performance.

How do I bed in new brake discs and pads?

Typically, this involves a series of moderate stops from a moderate speed, followed by a gradual increase in speed and braking intensity over several miles. Consult the brake pad manufacturer's instructions for specific bedding-in procedures.

Can I use these discs on a different motorcycle model?

These discs are designed for specific vehicle fitments listed. Using them on incompatible models can be dangerous and will void any warranty. Always verify compatibility with your motorcycle's specifications.

What material is the braking surface made of?

The braking surface is made of high-quality stainless steel, chosen for its durability and resistance to wear.

How does the CNC-machined aluminium hub benefit the disc?

The CNC-machined anodised aluminium hub provides a strong yet lightweight connection point, improving thermal management and reducing unsprung weight.

Troubleshooting

Brake judder or vibration

This can be caused by uneven wear, contamination, or improper mounting. Ensure the disc is clean, properly seated, and all mounting bolts are torqued correctly. Consider replacing brake pads if they are worn unevenly.

Reduced braking performance

Check for brake fluid leaks, worn brake pads, or a glazed disc surface. Ensure the disc is not contaminated with oil or grease. Proper bedding-in of new pads and discs is crucial.

Unusual noises during braking

Grinding noises may indicate worn pads or debris. Squealing can sometimes be normal during break-in or due to pad material, but persistent noise might require inspection of pad compatibility or disc surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly enhances braking efficiency and responsiveness.
  • High-quality materials ensure long-term durability and wear resistance.
  • Lightweight construction contributes to overall motorcycle performance.
  • Precision engineering provides stable and controlled braking.
  • Floating design prevents warping under heat.

Cons

  • Sold individually, requiring the purchase of two for a full front or rear set if applicable.
  • Higher performance may require compatible brake pads for optimal results.
  • Installation may require specialized tools or professional expertise.
  • Perforations can potentially allow more road debris ingress compared to solid discs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation of a brake disc should be performed by a qualified mechanic. Ensure all mounting hardware is torqued to the manufacturer's specifications. It is highly recommended to replace brake pads when installing new discs to ensure optimal performance and break-in.

Compatibility:

This disc (Part Number: 78B40831) is specifically designed for the front axle of the following Yamaha models:

  • YAMAHA FZ 6 (RJ07) Motorcycle Petrol 01/2003-12/2006
  • YAMAHA FZ 6 Fazer (RJ07) Motorcycle Petrol 01/2004-12/2006
  • YAMAHA FZ 6 Fazer (RJ14) Motorcycle Petrol 01/2007-12/2008
  • YAMAHA FZ 6 S2 Fazer (RJ14) Motorcycle Petrol 01/2008-12/2010
  • YAMAHA MT-03 (RH12) Motorcycle Petrol 01/2016-on

Always verify your motorcycle's exact fitment requirements before ordering. Remember, discs are sold individually.

Care:

Regularly clean the brake disc surface with a motorcycle-specific brake cleaner. Avoid using abrasive materials that could damage the surface. Inspect the disc for any signs of scoring, warping, or excessive wear. Ensure the disc is dry after cleaning.
