CARE & MAINTENANCE

SHOULD NEW DISCS AND PADS BE BEDDED IN AND IF SO, HOW?

The answer is yes, for optimum performance, any time different friction materials or discs are introduced, a bedding procedure should be carried out.

• While the motorcycle is stationary, pump brakes to ensure a firm pedal.

• Ride the bike cautiously to test fit and function.

• The brakes should be smooth, with no vibrations, judder, etc.

• Ride the bike to a remote area and perform the bedding procedure as found in our installation instructions.

• The purpose of this procedure is to gradually increase the temperature in the components without inducing thermal shock, and to mate the brake pad and disc friction surfaces.

• After the repeated stops, ride the bike for several miles with little or no braking in order to adequately cool the components.

• After the above process is completed, the system is ready for normal use.

• When the system achieves elevated brake temperatures for the first time, a slight increase in pedal travel and pedal effort may occur. After this first "fade" and proper cooling, the system will maintain its optimum performance at all temperatures.

HOW LONG DO 360 BRAKE DISCS LAST?

The useable life of a brake disc is influenced by a number of factors including vehicle weight, driving style, vehicle usage, brake pad material, and many others. Therefore a blanket disc lifetime cannot be given. However, when used in the same conditions, a 360 Brake disc should meet or exceed the life of the disc it replaces. It is important, however, to periodically check the disc thickness, and replace the disc if it falls below the minimum allowed thickness.

CHROME WARRANTY:

The 360 Brake Company ensures that our parts are chrome plated to the highest quality. However, chrome must be properly cared for. Salt, sand, and humidity are all bad for chrome. The life of your chrome may be shortened if not properly cleaned with a mild soap and water and waxed. Do not use abrasive or chemical cleaners. 360 Brake reserves the right to determine if the product has been properly maintained and has not been abused. If your 360 Brake chrome product is pitting, flaking and/or wearing off and has been maintained properly without being abused, you may request to return it to 360 Brake and if upon inspection it is found to be defective, 360 Brake will replace it, or repair it at our option. Due to the fact that we out source our chrome plating, we don’t warranty any product(s) after six (6) months from delivery date.
