Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This MTX Performance Front Solid Round Brake Disc (MPN: MDS07015) is specifically designed as a direct replacement for the front brake disc on Yamaha XT600 models from 1995 to 2000. It is intended to replace OEM part number EBC MD2067.
Setup:
- Ensure the motorcycle is securely supported on a stand.
- Carefully remove the front wheel and the old brake disc.
- Clean the mounting surface on the wheel hub thoroughly.
- Important: Compare the new MTX disc with the old one to confirm dimensions and bolt hole alignment.
- Mount the new MTX brake disc using appropriate hardware (typically new bolts are recommended and should be torqued to manufacturer specifications).
- Reinstall the front wheel.
- Crucial: Bed in the new brake pads and disc. This typically involves a series of moderate stops from increasing speeds, followed by a period of cooling without applying the brakes. Consult your motorcycle's service manual for specific bedding-in procedures.
Care:
- Regularly clean the brake disc with a motorcycle-specific brake cleaner. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
- Inspect the disc for any signs of wear, damage, or warping before each ride.
- Ensure brake pads are always in good condition and compatible with the disc material.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to corrosive environments without proper cleaning.
