Note: Specifications are subject to change without prior notice. Always verify compatibility with your specific motorcycle model year before purchase and installation.

4. Орнотуу жана орнотуу

Installation of brake components requires specialized knowledge and tools. It is highly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified motorcycle mechanic or a professional service center.

Жалпы көрсөтмөлөр:

• Биринчи коопсуздук: Орнотуу учурунда ар дайым тиешелүү жеке коргонуу каражаттарын (ЖКК) кийиңиз.
• Кызматтын нускамасын караңыз: Refer to your motorcycle's official service manual for specific torque specifications, disassembly, and reassembly procedures for brake components.
• Компонентти текшерүү: Before installation, carefully inspect all new components for any signs of damage or manufacturing defects.
• Тазалык: Ensure all mating surfaces (wheel hub, caliper mounts) are clean and free of dirt, grease, or rust.
• New Brake Pads: It is strongly recommended to install new brake pads when replacing brake rotors to ensure optimal performance and proper break-in.
• Тормоз суюктугу: Check brake fluid levels and bleed the brake system as necessary after installation to remove any air.
• No Bolts/Instructions Included: Please note that mounting bolts and detailed step-by-step installation instructions are typically not included with the brake rotors. These are usually reused from the original setup or purchased separately.

Маанилүү: Incorrect installation of brake components can lead to serious injury or death. If you are unsure about any step, seek professional assistance.

5. Операция

Once installed, the Arashi brake rotors function as the primary friction surface for your motorcycle's braking system. Proper operation relies on the interaction between the brake pads and the rotor surface to convert kinetic energy into thermal energy, slowing or stopping the motorcycle.

Brake-In Procedure:

New brake rotors and pads require a proper break-in period to ensure optimal performance and longevity. This process helps to bed the pads to the rotor surface and remove any manufacturing residues. Follow these general guidelines:

1. Perform several moderate stops from approximately 30-40 mph (50-65 km/h) down to about 5-10 mph (8-16 km/h). Avoid coming to a complete stop.
2. Allow the brakes to cool down between stops. Do not drag the brakes.
3. Бул процессти болжол менен 10-15 жолу кайталаңыз.
4. After the initial series of stops, allow the brakes to cool completely before normal riding.

Эскертүү: During the break-in period, avoid hard braking or prolonged braking, as this can overheat the components and lead to glazing or warping.

6. Техникалык тейлөө

Regular maintenance is crucial for the safety and performance of your motorcycle's braking system. Adhere to the following maintenance tips for your Arashi brake rotors:

• Үзгүлтүксүз текшерүү: Check and change brake pads, brake rotors, and brake calipers regularly to ensure they are in good condition. If wear or damage is observed, replace them immediately.
• Тормоз суюктугу: Bleed the brake lines periodically to remove excess air and maintain proper brake feel and performance.
• Минималдуу калыңдыгы: The braking area of the rotor has a minimum thickness specification (e.g., 4.5mm for new rotors). If the braking area wears down to 3.5mm thickness, replace the rotors immediately. This information is often stamped on the rotor itself.
• Riding Habits: Avoid external factors that contribute to brake deterioration, such as excessive or heavy braking, which can lead to overheating and premature wear.
• Компоненттин сапаты: Do not use sub-standard brake components, as this can compromise safety and lead to catastrophic failure.
• Сактагыч: Store your motorcycle in dry and clean places to prevent rust formation on the brake discs, especially on the braking surface. While Arashi brake discs are made from AISI 420 stainless steel for corrosion resistance, proper storage helps maintain their condition.

7. Кыйынчылыктарды

This section addresses common questions and potential issues you might encounter with your Arashi brake rotors.

Common Questions & Issues:

Q: Will these brake discs fit my specific motorcycle model?

A: The brake discs are designed according to OEM specifications. Arashi confirms that they provide 100% direct fitment to the models listed in the product's fitment list without further modification. Always cross-reference your motorcycle's make, model, and year with the product's compatibility list before purchase.

Q: Will the brake discs get rusty?

A: Arashi brake discs are made from AISI 420 stainless steel, which contains chromium elements for high corrosion resistance. However, rust formation can occur depending on brake storage conditions. It is recommended to store them in dry and clean places. Regular use and cleaning of the braking area can also help prevent rust.

Q: What are "oversize discs"?

A: Oversize discs are larger than the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) brake discs. If you purchase oversize discs, they might require an additional caliper bracket for proper installation. This bracket would typically be included in the package if required.

Q: Are these brake discs safe for road use?

A: Arashi has been developing brakes since 2006 and prioritizes customer safety. The brake discs are strictly tested before delivery. When installed correctly and maintained, they are designed for safe road use on compatible motorcycles.

Мүмкүн болгон себептер:

• Uneven pad deposits on the rotor surface.
• Rotor run-out (wobble) or thickness variation (DTV).
• Overheating during break-in or heavy use leading to hot spots.
• Loose mounting bolts or improper installation.
• Contaminated brake pads or rotor surface.

Чечимдер:

• Re-perform the break-in procedure carefully.
• Inspect rotors for visible hot spots or discoloration.
• Check rotor run-out with a dial indicator. If excessive, replacement may be necessary.
• Ensure all mounting bolts are torqued to specification.
• Clean rotors and replace pads if contamination is suspected.
