Title: brake discs - handed?
Post by: Bretty on 05 July 2016, 01:26:07 pm

I have a set of OEM front discs to go on my 2000 FZS600.

Are they handed? They look a bit the same to me?!

No, both the same.

Make sure you thoroughly clean every bit of dirt on the face of the wheel hub, and torque the bolts in a cross pattern

Well I'm not a religious man, but s'pose it can't do any harm.  ;) :lol

Thanks!

I presume you haven't tried removing the bolts yet, that can be fun.
Not as much fun as the rear wheel though.  :'(

I have tried to remove them.. and not being a religious man did swear a lot!   :D

However, I use an impact driver on most cap heads on my bike and they all moved except one, which just got the heat treatment and started moving ok... although the heat treatment was stupidly close to my speedo sensor, which I hope is still ok. So all good fingers crossed!
