Re: Swapping to Supermoto wheel set brake issue

I have managed to find a Moto-Master front 300mm upgraded disc for the Enduro and some sintered pads, so I may just go for that first.
At least I’ll be able to swap the wheels when the need arises.
The disc is £252 so I’m hoping at that price it’ll be a good improvement on the standard factory disc.

Re: Swapping to Supermoto wheel set brake issue

Can you not use the standard 320mm disc from the Husky 701 SM / KTM 690SMC etc.? Rings seem similar. Unfortunately not as the forks are different for the SM (shorter and firmer) and have a different mounting bracket for the larger calliper. I could get SM forks I suppose, but the expense is then go...

Re: Swapping to Supermoto wheel set brake issue

Re MOT. Does the bike have an ABS light, it should. When you turn the ignition on does it flash? When you've ridden 5-10m does it go out? Does the MOT tester ever ride a bike he tests? He'd have to be pretty switched on to spot a missing reluctor ring. Yes the bike has ABS light, plus a button to t...

Re: Swapping to Supermoto wheel set brake issue

A 300mm disc will be more than capable of stopping the bike, the 320 will feel sharper, but won't make much difference to actually stopping the bike, a stickier front tyre would make more difference to stopping distance. As has been mentioned, a 300mm will be fine. Perhaps some different pads for s...

Re: Swapping to Supermoto wheel set brake issue

Here’s the info from Suplier :-


the 300mm disc has no mention of SM wheels only the 320mm so it might work but cant guarantee it sorry

and you would have to use it with the MM caliper also

and can only do the 320 if take off the ABS is the ring that is the issue as no where to mount it

Re: Swapping to Supermoto wheel set brake issue

The suppling dealer as stating that it is not compatible with the ABS ring as the MM calliper requires the racing brake disc and as such doesn’t require abs for racing.

Re: Swapping to Supermoto wheel set brake issue

Gosh, not sure 🤔

I am tempted to just put a standard disc on (or maybe Moto-Master upgraded 300mm disc) and see how it stops first.

At least I’d be able to swap back and forth if required

See what people come up with first
