Installing Rear Brake Disc
Information
New brake pads and brake discs require a bedding-in period of several hundred kilometres! Only then do they achieve their best friction coefficient and wear value!
The sightly/reduced braking effect must be compensated for by increased pressure on the brake pedal.
