Always replace the CCM brake discs on both sides of the same axle.
Front and rear CCM disc wear is calculated by the instrument panel operating software, which uses an
algorithm to determine when to switch on the relative indicator to warn the driver.
The bedding-in procedure must always be performed after replacing the brake discs or the brake pads.
Disc replacement is necessary when the wear limit is reached, as indicated by the relative warning on the
TFT display, or if visual inspection reveals any surface damage.
Visual inspection of the disc friction surface
The alterations in the friction surface are caused by the material oxidising as a result of extremely high
thermal stress. The high temperatures reached by the brake discs, especially in race track conditions,
cause the material to oxidise progressively.
Surface alteration is detrimental to braking comfort, reduces brake disc resistance and increases pad
wear, requiring the replacement of components earlier than scheduled.
Understanding the signs of brake disc wear and consequent operations necessary:
The figure aside shows the friction surface after
normal brake usage in road conditions; disc
replacement is not necessary in this case.
The figure aside shows the friction surface after
a long journey, with only one intense brake
application; here too, disc replacement is not
necessary.
