NG Brakes, a specialist in the high performance braking system “100% Made in Spain”, invites us to continue in contact with our motorcycle, despite the suffocating heat we are suffering at this time of year. But this time giving him all those pampering that during the rest of the season we do not find the right time to carry them out.
We must remember what level of demand to which the components of a motorcycle are submitted can be bestial. Above all, in the case of offroad models, even with an amateur use. These wear pieces are designed to offer a very high level of benefits, being trained to face their use even in competition.
Circumstances that evidently go against the greater reliability of mechanics when spending its manufacturing material. Above all, in the case of the destined to stop all available motorcycle performance, as is the case of the braking system, that great forgotten.
A correct maintenance of the braking system is vital
As is known, the brake pads are the ones that first accuse wear, losing the material that composes its lining and that is precisely intended for it. This consumption of material due to contact with the brake disc also implies deterioration, although to a much lesser extent, of the surface in contact with the brake discs.
A slow and subtle erosion that gradually reduces the thickness of the material with which the disc is manufactured. To control said wear there are minimal work tolerances proposed by the manufacturer corresponding to the minimum disc thickness. It would never have to be allowed to exceed that measure of minimal tolerance in its thickness, due to the risk involved in disk and that would lead to terrible consequences for mechanics.
Another not less important aspect is to suffer irregular wear on the disc surfaces. Which in the beginning would cause less effective functioning of the braking system, as well as the premature deterioration of the pills. This irregular wear is usually motivated by the conditions of the land where it is rolls.
Acting, for example, mud as a real emery about disc manufacturing material. Each manufacturer applies their own criteria when recommending the minimum thickness to which their brake discs should work. Obviously, any severe blow suffered on the disk would have already been detected with an irregular functioning of the braking system.
Generally accused with an initial lack of mordant on the first route of his levers and that forces to pump to recover the lost pressure. Even when exerting slight pressure on the cams it is already appreciated that something is not going well for the pulses perceived on the lever, because the disc is bent. It would be a more obvious case than would force the album to recover all the effectiveness of the braking system.
When replacing a brake disc, as a general rule, the official replacement is usually more expensive and not necessarily better than the one offered by the auxiliary industry. In fact, on many occasions the discs are optimized compared to those that the motorcycle brings standard thanks to details such as offering a lower weight that affects the dynamics of the motorcycle or a greater thickness of the album that favors the touch of the handle, etc. Or simply offer a personalized aesthetic that gives that added value to differentiating our machine from the rest.
NG Brakes meets all these needs when it is time to replace some braking system component. The Spanish brand has a complete online catalog where you can consult the most indicated brake disc model for your motorcycle, as well as all the information for the technical record of the disc.
