Motorcycle brake pad replacement tips!
With the progress of the car manufacturing process, the horsepower of the engine will increase accordingly. In the era of pursuing speed, the braking system is particularly important. Braking is an important part of motorcycle performance. High-performance brakes can bring more motorcycles to motorcycle lovers. The safety experience, and the brake pads are the core of the brakes, the replacement cycle is especially important!
So please don't underestimate, let alone brake pads!
Today, I will introduce some common sense about the replacement of motorcycle brake pads. I hope it will be of some help to you who love motorcycles.
1. Usually, the brake pads must be replaced in the following situations:
1. When the wear indicator on the brake pad contacts the brake disc;
2. When the thickness of the brake pad is less than the minimum maintenance standard allowed by the vehicle manufacturer;
3. When the brake pads are contaminated by oil or grease;
The principle of replacing brake pads for motorcycles: When replacing brake pads, it is best to use high-performance brake pads. Although their price is higher than that of economical brake pads, their materials are much better and their service life is longer. Of course, they are safe Also much stronger.
What needs to be reminded is that when replacing the brake pads, try to use the same material as the old brake pads. Of course, it would be better if the new brake pad material is one level higher than the original material.
Second, the timing of replacing the brake pads
When abnormal wear or tapered wear occurs on the brake pads.
The brake system plays a very important role on the motorcycle, which means that you need to pay more attention to the condition of the brake pads, so when your brake pad thickness is less than 2mm, you should be ready to replace it, although some Mo friends think that a little brake pads are enough. But under intense control, such braking force has actually been affected.
Third, the replacement cycle of the brake pads
Disc brake system brake pads can be judged by the groove, or taken out from the caliper to check whether the thickness is sufficient; hub brake system is difficult to remove, can be judged by the brake rocker knob, if the knob can be easily adjusted to the end, and the brake is used If there is no braking force, it means that the brake pads should be replaced. In addition, you can also take the opportunity of changing the tires to check whether the brake pads are still sufficient.
4. Maintenance of brake pads
Use brake cleaner. In order to prevent dust from adhering to the disc or brake pads, riders can purchase brake cleaners by themselves. Simple cleaning and maintenance can ensure the normal operation of the brake pads, remember! Do not use oil or lubricants, these ingredients will be absorbed by the brake pads, resulting in reduced braking performance and increased driving hazards!
In addition, the determination of the minimum thickness of the brake pad is based on many factors, mainly including the braking system itself, the type of brake pad (asbestos type, semi-metal type, NAO type); the assembly of the brake pad and the brake shoe, etc. wait. Usually learn more about the basic knowledge of brake pads, understand the characteristics of various types of brake pads, and choose the brake pads that suit you according to the material and friction coefficient.
