Product Information
Full details
The EBC Brakes MD4165 Rear Brake Disc is designed for motorcycle riders seeking a reliable, high-performance upgrade over stock components. Ideal for commuters and performance-focused riders alike, this disc provides exceptional heat dissipation and braking consistency through its high-friction billet steel construction. While it offers a significant durability upgrade, owners should note that it requires a proper bedding-in period with new brake pads to ensure optimal safety and performance longevity.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Does this disc come with mounting bolts?
No, this product typically includes the brake disc only. It is recommended to use new mounting hardware or your bike's existing hardware if in good condition.
Can I use this with any type of brake pad?
While it is compatible with most pads, EBC recommends using EBC-branded sintered pads to achieve the intended performance and longevity.
How do I know when it's time to replace the disc?
Check the disc for the minimum thickness specification stamped on the hub; if it is thinner than this limit, it must be replaced.
Is this a solid or a floating disc?
The MD4165 features a robust riveted construction designed for performance applications.
What is the bedding-in process?
Avoid emergency stops and excessive heat during the first few hundred miles to allow the pad and rotor surfaces to wear into each other, ensuring a uniform contact patch.
Troubleshooting
Brakes feel spongy after installation
This is typically caused by air in the hydraulic system. Perform a full brake system bleed to remove trapped air bubbles.
Excessive noise or squealing
Ensure the pads are properly seated and consider applying a thin layer of brake quiet lubricant to the back of the pads (avoid contact with the friction surface).
Rotor showing signs of uneven wear
Check that the brake caliper is sliding freely on its pins and that the piston is not seized, as dragging pads cause premature wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation: The MD4165 is designed for a direct bolt-on installation. Ensure all mounting surfaces are clean and free of debris before attaching the disc. Use a torque wrench to tighten all bolts to the specific manufacturer's specifications.
Compatibility: This disc is part of the EBC MD Series, specifically model MD4165. Always verify your specific motorcycle model year and compatibility against the EBC fitment chart before purchase.
Care: To maximize the lifespan of your disc, avoid aggressive braking for the first 100-200 miles while the new disc and pads mate together. Regularly inspect the rotor surface for any signs of deep scoring or heat checking, and ensure your brake fluid is changed per your motorcycle's service manual.
