A quick unbox and review on the Arashi rotors off from Ebay, as well as a first look on install and first couples miles on them. enjoy and stay tune for a more in depth detail performance. cheers !
And thay don't move. Real full floating discs are move way more and you can here them to that there is space between the brake disc and centere hub. This ones are not.
You should always change the pads when you get new discs. The old pads are shaped to the old warped discs. And won't sit right and potentially warp the new discs too
@@keithriley3159 yes pads wear quicker than discs, but why would you want to use old pads that dont have a flat surface on your new discs? The old pads wont have full contact on the disc, thus not wearing the new disc evenley, so when you do get new pads the disc now is not a flat surface as its been worn uneven from the old pads
Ryan McAuley I’ve read and re read your reply and getting more confused every time. I don’t want to wear my new discs unevenly ! Yes old pad and new discs will not have full contact, but only initially, the pads will wear to the contour of the disc, be it flat, smooth or otherwise. Warped discs ??? Somebody tells me that and I asked ‘by how much’ guess what nobody has measured or quantified the warp, it’s a very wrong assumption by most ppl when they can feel some pulsing feedback through the pedal.
You change pads every time you change discs bro.the grooved discs you've changed out will have created that profile on the opposing surface.the pads.this will in turn transfer to new discs creating the wear pattern on them.
Do you need a lozenge? It sounds like you have a toad in your throat, or maybe you smoked to many weeds perhaps? Anyway, thank you for the review. How are the rotors holding up? Are they still on your bike?
Thanks for the review. I think if you do invest the time and energy, it would really help if you'd make sure the other variables (such as brake pads) are constant (i.e. the new pads that you should fit every time you change the discs). Otherwise, the review kind of loses its edge as we still don't know how the discs perform. But that's just a suggestion, thanks again for the time & effort. Best!
On my blackbird I always use OEM pads, I did buy discs from china through ebay and they work great, as for the marks on your discs is due to the pads, maybe your calipers are not fully pressing the pad on the discs, check the condition of your brake pistons they may be dirty and not fully extending as it should be, I check and clean mine once a year.
You have to replace pads when replacing rotors, there are many reviews of these rotors now and those riding them hard have not had any issues, they are worth the money they cost, I will buy once I need new rotors
@@NuttyNu can you explain why exactly? do they heat soak, warp, or wear uneven? why do you say this? i am considering these rotors but cannot find any real opinions on them other than subjective statements
@@NuttyNu i buy arashi rotors for Hornet 900 and after cca. 1000 kilometers they start to making problems.... Brake lever start to pulsing and left disk is debalanced...
@@Shamekhane1 i did, but I decided to return them and purchase some brembo replacements instead. They were a similar price from an Italian site. I think it was carpimoto
hey bro, you said the bite wasn't that good! did you find out if the rotors were bad or the pads? I'm about to order them but I'll wait till you get back to me. thanks for the review.
its honestly to early to give a recommendation, because for the prices its not that bad, but you can till its not the best quality. all in all, its worth the money. but if you are looking into serious braking performance, i would look into a name brand one.
I just put those on my bike today I have a 05 cbr600rr and so far very happy with them, smoth and quite and a decent bite, performance wise their awesome time will tell about life expectancy
i had the same ebay wavy disc fitted they caused a brake judder under medium or harder braking they were removed everything check and refitted still had a issue put the old disc back on no issue throw them in the bin might of been a one off not going to wast more money on them got genuine Honda discs
did you skew alignment when fitting? Wave discs should never be fitted exactly at the same positions If you do, the 'waves' would allow 'gaps' for calipers/pads to press into, slightly closing more, then being pushed open again, resulting in judder for this reason, you fit them with the other disc rotated to such a degree that the waves do not align when viewed from the side
The free floating rotors will hit the caliper adapter when you brake. I put these on my ninja and the moving rings on the rotor hit the adapter. Very noisy and very dangerous. If it gets caught it could lock the front wheel.
@@NuttyNu OEM will never improve them either, if you use used pads run in after the old rotors. You show yourself that the brake pads do not take all the way, you destroy the new discs. The old pads make uneven tracks on the new discs :-( Hope you've learned something by now..
@@NuttyNu i have the same discs as yours on my cbr600rr if you hold on to the disc itself the grey metal and move to side to side there should be slight movement becouse thats what there designed to do like you say incase the bike geos on un even surface thats right yeah ?
Giomar Jaramillo hello UPDATE & CONCLUSIONS these are okay rotors for the price point. if you're looking for just street performance. These will do. if you're looking for high performance for track and racing. I would highly recommended a name brand one. as these tend to not bite as hard.
NuttyNu I'm getting these on my 2008 cbr600rr this weekend. But I'm really worried about the performance since I go fast on some back roads.. did this affect anything besides the braking and how much so. I'll be getting hbc hh sontered brakes which are supposed to be better than the ones I had before so I'm hopeing I won't notice a negative difference Ps my old rotors where slightly bent
Well, James to be honest, most rider dont event know how to properly use the brake system, hence why most will lock up and crash during a situation, I've ridden plenty miles on these rotors, in a variety of ride conditions and I would still buy these. To each their own.
well my mechanic has put these on multiple bikes with no problems so even though i understand where you are coming from james it looks like these arent that bad. My bikes back in the shop but i test rode them and in terms of breaking felt the same but my steering feels funny
i had some of these on my 750 srad the brake lever would pulse under braking the stock ones were way better so threw the chinese rubbish in the bin. wierd tractor tyres lol many thanks
Chinese know nothing about metallurgy. Disc brakes are highly technical as if the crystalline metal matrix during the casting process is wrong, the discs will warp. Brake discs are extremely scientific, the Chinese are not scientific generally. Buy some used OEM rotors and machine them with a scotchbrite grinding wheel.
Looks to me that they are ok for a cheap and slow bike but on a performance bike.....hmmm...I'd rather stick with quality and reputable companies such as Brembo or Braketech. Sure, they are 4 times more expensive but.....on an 150hp plus motorcycle.....I only want the best.
