FAQs

Is this brake disc a direct replacement for my Yamaha XT600?

Yes, this disc (MPN: MDS07015) is designed as a direct replacement for the front brake disc on Yamaha XT600 models manufactured between 1995 and 2000, intended to replace OEM part number EBC MD2067.

What is the material of the brake disc?

The brake disc is constructed from a single segment of high-quality Japanese SUS 420 stainless steel.

What does 'heat-treated to HRC 36±2' mean for performance?

This heat treatment process ensures the steel reaches a specific hardness level (Rockwell Hardness C scale), which improves wear resistance and maintains the disc's structural integrity and performance under high temperatures.

How do I properly install the brake disc?

Installation involves removing the wheel, old disc, mounting the new disc with correct torque specifications, and critically, bedding in the new disc and pads. Refer to your motorcycle's service manual for detailed procedures.

Can I use this disc with any brake pads?

While designed for optimal performance, it is recommended to use brake pads that are compatible with stainless steel discs. Consult with a parts specialist or refer to pad manufacturer recommendations.

What is the minimum thickness for this disc?

The minimum recommended thickness for this brake disc is 4.5mm. It is important to replace the disc if it wears down to this thickness to maintain safe braking performance.

Does the drilling pattern affect braking in adverse weather?

The drill hole pattern primarily aids in cooling and gas expulsion during dry conditions. While it helps keep the disc cleaner than some solid designs, extremely muddy or wet conditions may still affect braking performance, as is common with most disc brake systems.

Troubleshooting

Brake judder or vibration

This can be caused by uneven pad material transfer, disc contamination, or a warped disc. Ensure the disc is properly bedded in, clean, and check for any signs of damage or warping. Ensure mounting bolts are torqued correctly.

Reduced braking performance

Check brake pad condition and material compatibility. Ensure the disc and pads are clean and free from contaminants. Verify brake fluid level and condition. Improper bedding-in can also lead to reduced performance.

Squealing or noise during braking

This can be a normal characteristic of some brake compounds or could indicate issues like loose mounting hardware, worn pads, or contamination. Ensure all components are securely fastened and consider using anti-squeal paste on the back of brake pads if compatible.

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:

  1. Ensure the motorcycle is securely supported on a stand.
  2. Carefully remove the front wheel and the old brake disc.
  3. Clean the mounting surface on the wheel hub thoroughly.
  4. Important: Compare the new MTX disc with the old one to confirm dimensions and bolt hole alignment.
  5. Mount the new MTX brake disc using appropriate hardware (typically new bolts are recommended and should be torqued to manufacturer specifications).
  6. Reinstall the front wheel.
  7. 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.
