Brake Rotor Wear
ZR1 models have ceramic brake rotors. Rotors should
be visually inspected whenever the brake pads are
replaced. Rotors also need to be weighed before brake
pads are replaced to confirm that the rotor mass is
greater than the wear-out mass printed on the rotor.
The rotor can be reused if the weight of the rotor
is above the mass limit. Rotor inspection and weighing
methods can be found in the service manual. See
Service Publications Ordering Information on page 7-16.
Brake Rotor Protector
{ CAUTION:
Ceramic rotors will be very hot after operation and
touching them may cause burns. Be sure brake
system is completely cool prior to installation of
protector, or coming in contact with them.
Notice: Rotors may be chipped if hard contact is
made with the wheel during wheel installation or
removal. Always use the rotor protectors. Be sure
to carefully follow wheel removal and installation
instructions.
