FAQs

Is this disc compatible with my 2018 Honda CB1000R?

This specific part number (MD1152X) is designed for the 2008-2017 model years of the Honda CB1000R. Please check EBC's official fitment guide for other model years.

Do I need special brake pads for this disc?

EBC recommends using their own range of brake pads for optimal performance and compatibility with the MD Series Pro-Lite Contour X Brake Disc. Check the product documentation for specific pad recommendations.

What is the main advantage of the 'Contour X' design?

The 'Contour X' or XC series features a contoured, lighter weight profile compared to the standard X-Series, further reducing rotational mass for enhanced performance.

How do I properly bed-in new brake discs and pads?

A typical bedding-in procedure involves a series of moderate stops from increasing speeds, allowing the brakes to cool between cycles. Consult the EBC Brakes website or the product packaging for detailed instructions.

Can I use this disc for daily commuting?

Yes, while designed for performance, the durability and vibration reduction features make it suitable for daily use. However, maintaining proper care and avoiding extreme conditions will prolong its life.

What is the weight saving compared to a stock rotor?

The EBC MD Series Pro-Lite discs can reduce unit weight by up to 300 grams per disc compared to conventional rotors.

Troubleshooting

Brake judder or vibration after installation

Ensure all mounting bolts are correctly torqued. Check for any debris between the disc and the hub. Verify that the correct brake pads are installed and have undergone the proper bedding-in procedure.

Reduced braking performance

Check the condition and type of brake pads being used. Ensure the brake system is properly bled and has adequate fluid. The disc may require a proper bedding-in procedure if new.

Warping detected

While the patented button system is designed to prevent this, extreme overheating could still cause issues. Ensure proper brake cooling and avoid prolonged heavy braking without allowing a cool-down period. Inspect the brake system for any binding calipers.
