Maintenance tips for your bikes' disc brake

by Ravi Singh Rana Digital Marketer

Stuff that moves quickly should emerge to a halt with similar emergencies whenever the need occurs. For this purpose, high-efficiency motorbikes are outfitted with a greater efficiency braking system. In terms of brake system effectiveness, disc brakes have been confirmed to be the most dependable system for dropping the anchors. Disc brakes were previously reserved for larger capacity motorbikes. Nevertheless, as regulatory bodies have placed a greater focus on protection, disc brakes have found their way onto lower capacity motorbikes too. Whereas disc brakes are indeed very reliable and necessitate little maintenance, they do demand some upkeep to keep them performing well. In this article, we'll go over all of the crucial components of disc brakes that you should be aware of to keep your R15M performing like new.

Maintain the brake fluid tank full.

The reservoir equipment for the front disc is typically installed on the handlebar, whereas the reservoir equipment for the back disc can be noticed either behind the right or left-hand edge heel slab connected to the footpeg. A sight glass in the brake fluid tank helps to check the level of the liquid. Remember to keep the brake liquid at the proper level in all instances. If a refill is required, cautiously lift the lid and fill it. It is best not to let the liquid drip on your bike's side panels because brake fluid is destructive and can damage the paint job.

Bleed the brakes regularly.

Bleeding the brakes is a procedure that removes air that has become stuck inside your R15 M braking system. Because air is highly compressible, any stuck air pockets in the brake lines can cause a limp sense in the brake lever as well as poor and unreliable braking efficiency. To remove air from your braking system, turn the bleeder shaft on the calliper and afterwards push the brake lever. It will pressurise the system, releasing air as well as some hydraulic fluids. If the bleeder bolt remains open after the brake lever is set to release, it will absorb more air. As the brake fluid is released, the master cylinder tank must be filled up so that it would not run out of liquid.

When necessary, brush the brake pads.

Grime commonly accumulates just on the upper surface of brake pads, reducing braking efficiency significantly. If they'll have some life in them, readers can brush the mud and reveal the fresh, more reliable surface of the brake pad for optimised braking performance by brushing the disc pads against sandpaper.

Check the brake pads regularly.

Because they start biting on the disc rotor and then have to engage with relatively high rates of friction and heat, brake pads are the most mistreated component of the braking system. They are subjected to a great deal of pressure, and it is critical to keep a close eye on their life quality and wear to keep the brake pads in good working order. The calliper has an investigation hole in the dust cover to allow you to investigate the disc brakes within it. If you believe the disc pads need to be replaced, try replacing them right away. Failure to replace the disc pads on time may reveal the disc rotor to the metal frame that holds the brake pads in position, resulting in damage to the entire area.
