I'm getting some Mintex 1155s fitted to my MY00 on the standard discs. Are there any recommendations for bedding the pads in - they didn't come with instructions?

Cheers,

Ian.

 

No heavy braking for the first 2 hundred miles or so till the pads take the shape of the worn disks..
I have these pads with Black Diamond drilled disks , and they are a big improvment over the standard set up.

Hope this helps ...

Dave..

 

Ian,
I have a set of guidelines on an A4 sheet given to me yesterday when I had my new 6 pots fitted, it's written by AP.
If you mail or telephone me with a fax number I'll get it over to you.
I'm not available from 12.30pm tomoro, on me way to Trax (overnighting).
My mobile is 07799 - 881188

dont know about daves way (which is the usual for most cars) but common advice is to do 3 or 4 hard braking moves then let em cool and then same again.Maybe pete c has an opinion?

 

Thanks all for the advice.

MY you have mail.

 

 

Bedding in M1155

 

Cheers everybody for the advice.

Braking from 90MPH to 30MPH wasn't quite what I was expecting but I'll give it a go - on a private road of course

 

Realistically that means a series of 30-0 stops on a quiet bit or road then a back road blast doesn't it? To some folk "back road blast" would mean 120-50 braking for the corners, so best go for a "gentle" drive if you are in that club of nutters - and seeing that you are also biker by definition you must be a complete and utter fruitcake who is doing 160mph at the braking point at the end of every straight?
