front disc limits Is there a minimum disc limit for a mot test. what thickness do you think discs should be replaced |
normally found marked on the disc and can relate to several things like original disc thickness, disk material and also how far across the pads can come in the callipers |
The disc were originally 5mm they are now 3.25 and 3.50.mm There is a slight lip to edge of disc which i could remove easily are they ok or should i replace |
As Skidlids has said - there will be a wear limit stamped on the inner edge of the disc - most Ducs I've seen on standard discs are 4 or 4.5mm min thickness depending on them being 4.5 or 5mm thick when new as a guide. |
Just checked the manual - ST4S new thickness 5mm +/- 0.1mm - wear limit 4.5mm! Fink you need some new ones...... |
One of my sets of discs has a wear limit of 3.6mm. As you are quite away below this with one disc I would look at replacing them. There are Pairs of New Wavey discs going on Ebay for £149. My mate with the Powervalve engine in the Mito has just ordered some so waiting for his feedback on them. |
Don't run around with overly worn discs. This happened braking for turn 15 @ Sepang on a track-day. The cast iron disc broke up and tore the caliper off the fork leg. Luckily there is lots of run off there. Mike |
Many thanks to all who replied I now know what i need to do. scrap the discs and get some new ones |
bleedy hell mikey,that looks bad im looking at those wavey disks too, some feedback would be good, i have emailed a previous buyer and he s said they look good and weigh a bit lighter than standard disks but he hasnt fitted them yet as its for a winter project bike |
any news on these disks yet ?????? my front disks are measuring just over 3mm now, 22000 miles so its about time they were replaced for a bling set i think, wish i could afford the galfers but cant so the ebay ones will have to do |
