FM, NG Btakes Component of your motorcycle you must take extra care of: dire consequences
It's an essential element in your motorcycle's safety that requires an inspection. In Spain, there are great experts
Summer imposes its own law. The heatwave, relentless in many regions, can even sideline the most enthusiastic motorcyclists. Only those who've ridden a lot know what we're talking about.
But it's not all bad news. You can take the opportunity to strengthen another kind of bond with the machine: that of careful care and meticulous maintenance.
Among the many aspects that are often overlooked, the brake system is the most ignored. Make no mistake, it deserves a leading role.
What to keep in mind when checking the motorcycle's brakes
The summer heat, with its long daylight hours, can be the perfect excuse to thoroughly inspect the brake discs.
These are components that, despite their robust and static appearance, undergo progressive wear. This compromises both the system's effectiveness and the motorcycle's safety.
The first visible symptom is usually the reduction of the pad lining, which is designed to wear down. That repeated and constant wear also leaves its mark on the disc's surface.
Its thickness is slowly but inexorably reduced. Each manufacturer sets a minimum thickness limit, and exceeding it isn't an option. It implies a structural risk that, if it happens, could lead to a disc fracture with dire consequences.
It's not just about thickness. Irregular wear, common in off-road use, also compromises performance.
Mud, for example, acts as a silent abrasive that eats away at the steel surface. This accelerates the deterioration of the pads, and with it, the loss of bite.
When the disc becomes deformed, the lever gives it away, such as erratic pulsing, inconsistent travel, or the need to pump. These are unmistakable signs that something is no longer in place.
NG Brakes as a Spanish benchmark in motorcycle brakes
In this context, the auxiliary industry plays an essential role. Far from being a mere economical substitute for the original replacement, brands like NG BRAKES offer technically superior products.
We're talking about lighter discs, with better ventilation, greater thickness, or aesthetic finishes that individualize the motorcycle without compromising performance.
NG BRAKES, with a Spanish seal and proven experience, offers users a wide online catalog. In it, you can check compatibilities, technical sheets, and specific solutions.
Because taking care of the brakes isn't a luxury or a minor task. It's a technical obligation, a sign of respect for the machine... and for oneself.
