EBR Racing front rotor install instructions

[Cooter]

I had a couple questions about my EBR Racing front rotor install and found some vague and incorrect answers on here (and BadWeb), so I thought I'd post the answers that EBR gave me in case someone is searching. I'd like BuellXB.com to be the source for the best info, but I'm biased a bit:D

Which way do I mount my EBR rotor?
"The 6mm rotor requires the step to be facing outside, the 5mm rotor doesn't matter"

Whats the torque spec for the EBR rotor hardware?
Recommended rotor bolt hardware torque WAS 25-27ft/lbs. It was UPDATED to 16-18 Ft/lbs!!

What order do I put the EBR hardware on?
Heres a screenshot of the pdf they sent which shows proper hardware install order and torque.


And a close up of the hardware:


Bolt head, concave side of washer to bolt head, square rotor insert (see proper direction), copper washer, and sleeve…

What about the not-so-square thing?
Like this:


6-bolt torque order. First, snug all bolts then:

Great info here cooter. Just stumbled on this looking for torque values on the ebr rotor.

Thanks! I'm working on a couple other of the basics, but dang! The hardest part is doublechecking all the sources:/
I wouldn't want to put something on the Internet that wasn't true!









And I have a huge knob.

Nice write up cooter. With references. Oh yeah , huge is subjective. Lol.

[Cooter]

I do have references for that, at least! The wife has very small hands....

The wife has very small hands....

that is why I like midget porn. You realize how big it looks in those chubby little hands.

Nice find different from any thing I have seen

Thanks guys. I compiled a huge amount of info, double-checked the sources, then removed everything not pertinent to get the most concise, easy to understand process.

I hope it helps!

From 30mph, brake to 5mph, three times without stopping.
Then from 50mph, brake to 5mph, slightly harder, three times without stopping.
Then from 70mph, brake to 5mph, even more quickly (but not a 'panic stop') three times without stopping.
Now, ride for 5 miles without using the front brake and park it overnight.
The cooling off period is important for even distribution of pad material.

Followed the bed-in procedure exactly as listed on a Slovakian (not made in China LOL) front rotor.
You people scarfed up those EBR rotors pretty fast

New EBC sintered brake pads.
Outside temperature (cool) 65 degrees.
Paid more for this rotor, waited forever to get it.
The rotor has performing perfectly but after the above procedure... discoloration.

For future reference did I get it too hot?

I don't mind the rainbow effect and I suspect it's here to stay anyway if I did.
Just curious if there was an option to avoid this discoloration and still reap the benefits of a proper bed-in.

Currently looking for something to compliment in a rear rotor... I do like this design a lot.
