Motorcycle Brake & Rotor Replacement - Install motorcycle rotors

And then here's our replacement, same thing, factory, just a new one, all shiny, ready to go. You just like take it, put it on here, there's only one way it does go on, the other side you could see it's got a machine face that's for sitting and seating onto the wheel hub. Take it, put it on there, line it up as best as you can. Go ahead and you get the blue thread lock, now the way you tell between the different thread locks is most of the time when you take a old bolt out, you'll see, you look in there, right here and as you can see, just like on the screw, it's got blue thread lock on it. That means use the same stuff, you don't want to use red where there's blue or vice versa. So I just go ahead and put the rotor on, get my thread lock, just want to go and you want to put couple little drops on there, make sure it gets on the threads, and just go ahead and put it on the there, and get it started by hand, and go ahead and get this stuff put on there, and you're just going to go around and do the whole thing. Don't worry about it drying on you before you get them all in there, it takes awhile to dry. So you just want to get it evenly on there, make sure they all get proper amount of thread lock, and what you're going to do is, you're going to go on the first one and get it down to where it stops. Just like that. Then you're going to go down, and this is just like when you do lugs on a tire, you're going to go to the opposite side. You're not going to go one, two, three, four, that's fine for when you loosen it, but when you do it this way, you're going to go this one, the one across from it, the one across from it, across, across. So first you go and you tighten them until the bolt stops. Boom. Stops, stops, and then what I like to do is, for people that do have a Digital Torque Wrench, you want to get in there with it and you want to tighten it to about fourteen foot pounds. A lot of people don't have those so, in this case, it's kind of a judgment call. But when you tighten it, you don't want to go crazy tight. You just want to torque it just enough, so I do like a quarter of a turn. Boom, and this one, quarter of a turn. You'll feel it get tight, you just don't want to take it too tight, because it'll just loosen up on you and strip the threads out inside the wheel. The wheel's also aluminum. So that's it. While we have the wheel off, and we're checking the rotors and we're pretty much checking the whole wheel out, something that's really important that you want to clean off and check are these seals that go over the bearings of the wheels. It's located right here in the middle. This is a rubber seal, this actually has metal in it, so it's not all rubber. These are very hard to take in and put out. But you always want to go in there and you want to make sure that everything in here spins, you know, everything is not too dirty. Always clean it out anytime you take your wheel off, and that's pretty much how to replace the rotors on your motorcycle. So now this is all done, we can move on and we'll just repeat the process on the other side.
