Installation Notes and Tips
Ensure the brake rotor surface is clean and free of debris before installing the ZX648 brake pads. Verify that the included pad shims and abutment clips are properly positioned to prevent noise and ensure correct pad movement. Since these pads do not include a wear sensor, monitor pad thickness regularly to maintain safe braking performance. Follow manufacturer torque specifications for caliper hardware during installation.
