FAQs
What makes this brake disc 'floating'?
A floating disc consists of two separate parts: the braking surface (made of stainless steel) and the hub (made of steel or alloy). These are connected by bobbins or rivets. This allows the braking surface to expand and contract independently with temperature changes, preventing warping and maintaining optimal alignment with brake pads.
Why is heat treatment important for this disc?
The heat treatment to HRC 36±2 standards makes the Japanese SUS 420 stainless steel braking surface more durable, wear-resistant, and less prone to brake fade under high temperatures generated during braking.
Do I need to replace my brake pads when installing this disc?
It is highly recommended to use new, compatible brake pads when installing a new brake disc. This ensures optimal performance, proper bedding-in, and prevents transferring contaminants or uneven wear from old pads to the new disc.
How do I perform the bedding-in procedure?
Consult the specific bedding-in instructions provided by MTX or your mechanic. Generally, it involves a series of controlled stops from moderate speeds, allowing the brakes to cool between applications, to mate the pad material to the disc surface.
Can I use this disc on the rear wheel?
No, this is specifically listed as a Front Floating Round Brake Disc for the MTX ZR 1100. Rear discs often have different specifications and mounting configurations.
What is the typical lifespan of this brake disc?
The lifespan depends heavily on riding style, maintenance, and operating conditions. However, with proper care and maintenance, and by using compatible pads, this high-quality stainless steel disc is designed for extended service life.
Troubleshooting
Brake judder or vibration
Ensure the disc is properly seated and torqued. Check if the wheel bearings are worn. Verify the brake pads are compatible and have been bedded in correctly. The disc itself might be warped if not installed or used properly.
Reduced braking performance after installation
The disc may require a proper bedding-in procedure. Ensure there is no air in the brake lines and the brake fluid is fresh. Check for proper pad-to-disc contact.
Brake fade under heavy use
Confirm the disc has been correctly bedded in. Ensure the brake fluid is not old or contaminated. Check that the caliper is functioning correctly and not sticking. The floating design should help mitigate fade, so persistent issues may point to other components.
Noisy brakes (squealing)
Some noise is normal during bedding-in. Ensure brake pad shims are installed correctly if applicable. Check for debris between the pad and rotor. Ensure the disc is clean.
