197 - Front Disk Options

[ktm4me]

Hi all. I'll need to replace my front disks soon and wanted to know if anyone has fitted aftermarket units with any success? I've looked at the K-Tec Black edition, groved, dimpled, as well as the fleBay units, so any advice, based on actual experience, would be appreciated? Also experience of alternative Pads for fast road & occasional track use would help. :biggrin:

Thanks in advance, Cheers

If your not doing a lot of track work the standard discs are more than enough. If you want a different look to the plain disc Rich on here can do some great things with them

A pad and fluid change is your best bet imo.

Ferrodo DS2500 is what I use with my AP Racing discs and they are up to the job but they do give off a lot of brake dust.

Fluid, Motul RBF-600

You may as well get the lines changed to braided lines while your doing the fluid.

mark, what model of the AP racing disc did u put on to your 197?

I'd definitely be changing the lines to braided if your going to change the fluid, and I can sort you some new disks out.

Standard disks are great (they are Brembo HC) and more than upto the job for road and a bit of track use. Grooving, which I can do , will just help to keep the pads clean and reduce glazing. Plus it looks great.

If you want a price just drop me a PM
