Brakes are safety parts. You must
read this en� rely and respect the instruc� ons
for mounti ng and use. You
must also
absolutely keep these instruc� ons
, even aft er the expiry date of the guarantee.
Disc installation and utilisation
1. Firstly, take care to avoid damaging the original assembly screws, etc... when removing the old discs.
2. Check that the new discs are dimensionally compati ble with the old ones (diameters, hole drillings).
3. Clean the disc mounti ng positi on and check that the mounti ng is not distorted («out of true» tolerance 0.02 mm).
WARNING � �������� ����� ����� �� � ����������� �� ��� ����.
4. Remove any packing washers.
5. Tighten the screws, proceeding gradually, in diagonal sequence (use thread locking compound), to the specifi edtorque va-
lues:
M5 : 0.6 daN.m (4,3 foot-pounds) M6 : 1 daN.m (7,3 foot-pounds) M8 : 2,5 daN.m (18,1 foot-pounds)
6. The disc must be central in relati on to the caliper. It must not rub on either side of the caliper or on its external diameter.
7. AERONAL DISC: you have to respect
absolutely
the rotati on directi on (arrow on the external face of the disc).
8. Check the freedom of rotati on of the disc: there must be a 2mm play with any outside part (for example the fi xing bolts of
the caliper
on the fork, …).
9. PADS:
- with original calipers : use the BERINGER® corresponding pads.
- with BERINGER 6 piston AEROTEC® calipers : use BERINGER® pads Ref: 1100S (road use) / 1100R2 (racing use).
- with BERINGER 4 piston axial calipers : use BERINGER® pads Ref: 2654S (road use) / 2654R2 (racing use).
- with BERINGER 4 piston radial AEROTEC® calipers: use BERINGER® pads Ref: 1200S (highway) / 1200R2 (race).
10. It’s dangerous not to mount and use the above recommended pads in the BERINGER® calipers as well as in original calipers.
N.B
In certain cases, for example CBR1000 DUAL, VFR-87, 660 XTZ, etc... it is necessary to grind down smoothly the adapter
supporti ng the caliper so that there remains enough clearance (≥ 1mm) with the disc. In fact, to improve the performances, the
BERINGER® discs are thicker than the original ones and fl oati ng.
To obtain best results from the braking power and durability (min. thickness 5 mm) of BERINGER® cast iron discs, discs and pads
must be RUN-IN (fi xed, fl oati ng, drilled or smooth) for 100 to 300 km, depending upon your riding, using
progressively
applied
braking power,
without excessively
heati ng the discs (avoid violent, repeated or conti nuous braking). A
perfectly smooth
surface
on the discs will indicate that the running in period is completed.
CAUTION
The fi rst brakings must be absolutely very light. They are reserved to remove the coati ng from the braking track. In
case of non respecti ng this, a risk exists of damaging pads and discs (vibrati ons) not covered by the guarantee. During the run-
ning-in period, the braking power will be reduced temporarily.
11. Use brake pads adapted to your style of riding: aft er the replacement of the pads, you must apply the instructi ons of the
following
chapter : ‘Installati on and uti lisati on of calipers’.
12. Don’t forget the running in, aft er each change of pads.
13. You must oft en inspect the fricti on area of the braking track: it must be brilliant or blue or dark brown. If the area turn to
dull (as
sandpapered), there’s a risk of rapid wear of both discs and pads. This can happen if you do many low brakings or if you ride in
the rain for a long ti me. In that case, it’s advisable to do some powerful brakings in order to laminate the pads fricti on surface
and put down a new protecti ve deposit on the discs (see chapter concerning braking pads).
14. For cleaning the discs, you must
NEVER
use thinner, neither high pressure cleaner nor basic chemical product. Use water
with soap. Rinse with clear water without pressure.
Chome fi nish
: Some parts are delivered in chrome. The use of this coati ng is reserved for occasional use of the motorcycle. Un-
der no circumstances should water and corrosive products (e.g. snow removal salt...) remain on the chrome which would void
the warranty. The damage due to gravel are not covered by the warranty too.
