FAQs

Can I use these discs with any brake pad?

While compatible with most pads, EBC recommends using EBC-brand pads for the best performance match.

Does the disc come with mounting hardware?

Hardware is generally not included; ensure you use new, high-tensile mounting bolts during installation.

How long is the bed-in period?

Follow standard bedding-in procedures for at least 100-200 miles of moderate, non-emergency braking.

Is the disc compatible with ABS systems?

Yes, it is designed to work seamlessly with factory-fitted motorcycle ABS systems.

Why is it called a floating disc?

It uses a two-piece construction where the rotor is attached to the center carrier with rivets (buttons), allowing it to move slightly to handle heat expansion.

Troubleshooting

Brake judder or vibration

Check that the floating buttons are not seized with dirt and verify the disc bolts are torqued to factory specifications.

Reduced stopping power

Ensure the disc is properly bedded in with new brake pads and verify there is no brake fluid contamination on the rotor surface.

Clicking noise during low-speed braking

Slight movement is normal for a floating disc, but if the noise is excessive, check for loose mounting bolts.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improved braking responsiveness compared to stock fixed discs
  • Enhanced heat management reduces the chance of brake fade
  • Floating mechanism allows for superior adaptability to pressure variations
  • Robust 6-bolt mounting ensures reliable, shake-free operation

Cons

  • Requires professional installation for optimal safety
  • Specific 310 mm/101.2 mm sizing limits universal fitment
  • Higher maintenance requirements to keep the floating buttons clear of debris

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before purchase, always verify that your motorcycle hub is configured for a 6-bolt disc mount and that the 101.2 mm inner diameter matches your wheel specs. Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic using a torque wrench to meet manufacturer-specified settings. For maintenance, ensure the disc surface is cleaned periodically with brake cleaner to remove dust and road grime. Inspect the 'floating buttons' occasionally to ensure they remain free to move; debris buildup can lock the disc in place, defeating its purpose.
