Hey Dave. I am surprised the Service Manual for my application clearly discusses brake caliper removal, brake pad removal, piston removal, fluid seals and dust seals removal, brake discs (rotors) removal, reassembly for all to include torque specs and sequences, but offer NO PROCESS on properly bedding new pads to rotors for one of the most important components on a bike for safety. Amazing.
@catalystreactionsbw Жыл бұрын
That is very off when it offers you a complete overview and overhaul. I'll assume that they believe you will follow the pad manufacturers recommendations.
@Audace14003 жыл бұрын
I keep this same brake in philosophy in mind when coming off a highway and down the offramp. Staying hard on the brake when coming to a full complete stop can build up uneven brake pad material on your disc rotor leading to the sensation of warped rotors.

I know this is an oldie! However the principle hasn’t changed with time. I actually hated new brake pads on my “Superbike” of a forgotten era being a GSXR-750. When my racing team and I decided to change the front pads I was always told to bed them in. Bed then in with aggressive braking (obviously after a few slow laps to see where the bite point was).
@alanbrown55933 жыл бұрын
Brembo recommend that you fully clean the rotors with scotchbrite pads and brake cleaner when fitting new pads. You should also clean new discs as they often have a protective coating. Gradually increasing the pressure/speed over 50 miles ish, with no harsh/emergency brake (unless required obviously). It was described to me (many years ago) as seasoning your brakes not cooking them.

I want to transfer material as evenly as possible via heat and friction leveraging duration. I have had excellent success with that method over the last decade with all rotors and pads.

@catalystreactionsbw3 жыл бұрын
Yes, correct. Feel the pads and rotors grip and the front and rear will dip, let go and repeat. The key lesson is feeling the pads grip the rotors so you get a 2 for 1, pad grip levels and a lesson on pressure and duration.

Do you think this procedure help with pad squeal that's prevalent on especially new Triumph's equipped with Brembo Rotors, Discs and Pads? I did do something similar and it seemed to help but sometimes a light squeal returns at parking lot speeds.
@catalystreactionsbw3 жыл бұрын
Squeal is normally generated on the brake pin if their is a groove present and the pad vibrates. Have you checked the pin for wear? Some pads will come with a backing plate.

If I were you and braking doesn't feel smooth or maybe on/off I'd check to see if your rotors are warped first.

This applies if you change pads or sand your rotors. Older brakes not performing well can be old fluid, stuck pistons(s), caliper alignment incorrect or rotors not true.

what a timing lol, doing this tomorrow as well edit: did you ride smoothly for 100 miles before doing the break in procedure ? also could you show a before and after comparison in the next vid ?

This process was done immediately on quiet roads so I could concentrate and perform the skill set correctly. The process on track is no different. Taking the time to bed everything in correctly immediately ensures that in an emergency you have maximum potential for stopping.
@pedrosousa74933 жыл бұрын
@Darkizo, here between us, for sure one of the Daves have something recorded on the before and after procedure. Would be awesome. Just saying 😉 But yeah, this bed in procedure is the "gentle 100miles ride" compressed, fast forwarded and should no be ignored. Brakes fall into the "rather have and not need than need and not have" category and if with that comes longevity, better!

I'm afraid of doing it because the last time i bedded in new rotor and new brake pads, the front forks became "soft" on application of front brakes. Too much hard braking in a short time caused the oil to deteriorate?
@catalystreactionsbw2 жыл бұрын
Perhaps there is a different perspective. Much more braking efficiency with new pads created more braking force = softer suspension feeling.
@wakaoeh2 жыл бұрын
@@catalystreactionsbw No. It seemed like something deteriorated. When i braked, it was so soft it was dangerous. The bike needed more distance to brake safely. There was a lot of fork travel. After that, I went to the workshop to get the fork fluid changed and it was better, lesser fork travel, not as "soft" as before.

How do you do this on a track bike? I’ve got carbon pads to go in and it’s safe to say I’m a bit nervous about using them🤷🏼
@catalystreactionsbw3 жыл бұрын
Use 400 grit in an X pattern on the rotors so you scuff it and clean them meticulously. With carbon pads you need to bed them in on track so long duration with 50-60% pressure gets plenty of heat to create material transfer. Session 2 at 80% speed with long duration and session 3 be at pace.

there is a bed in procedure for brake pads? bruh I just ride it and accept that the breaks will be crummy for the first bit, and if it takes a very long time to bed in I know it's time for new rotors with the next pads.
