Everything is included in this kit to add a rear disc brake to your BBR Perimeter Aluminum Frame kit based motorcycle. If you are adapting this kit to the OEM Honda frame or another aftermarket frame kit, you will need our adapter kit PN 550-HXR-5050. Because installation of this kit is beyond the control of BBR Motorsports, Inc, we cannot accept responsibilty for misuse or improper installation. This kit is intended only for use on off-road motorcycles. These instructions are intended only as a supliment to the proper Honda service manual. If the installation of this product is beyond your technical abilities please refer to qualified service personel.
1. Support bike on stand with rear tire off of ground. Remove seat and body work. Remove rear wheel and brake pedal.
2. Remove shipping bracket from master cylinder.
3. Remove shipping wedge from the caliper.
4. Install master cylinder on frame using supplied 6mm bolts.
5. Install master cylinder reservoir on upper subframe bolt using the supplied bracket and longer bolt.
6. Slide caliper (on mount) onto back of swingarm
7. Stick brake hose mounts onto swingarm. Be sure to clean the swingarm to insure that they stick properly.
8. Install rotor and sprocket on the rear hub. BBR recommends using a thread lock adhesive on all these bolts
9. Install rear wheel. Use care to insure that the rotor slides between the brake pads and the wheel spacers stay in place.
10. Install brake pedal tip in desired location. BBR recommends using a thread lock here also.
11. Unsnap the clevis pin from the bottom of the brake reservoir.
12. Install the brake pedal spring on the top bolt mount.

1992-95 VW Corrado VR Front Big Brake Upgrade Installation Instructions
Most 17” wheels will clear the outer diameter of the caliper. Wheel weights mounted on the inside of the wheel may need to be repositioned. The more critical clearance is the spokes of the wheel to the outer face of the caliper. Do not assume an 18, 19 or even 20 inch wheel will clear the outer face of the caliper. A minimum distance of 60.81mm, measured from the outer rotor face to the inside face of the wheel spokes. This is the net metal-to-metal measurement. We recommend at least 2mm additional clearance to clear the ST-40 caliper on our big brake kits. Please refer to the Wheel Fitment section of our website to confirm any wheel fitment issues.
Wheel Spacers
Wheel spacers can provide extra clearance to the outer face of the caliper. This will also space out the entire wheel, widening the track width of the vehicle. Basic suspension settings will generally not be adversely affected by a slight widening (up to 3mm per side) of the track. Fender clearances should be checked on lowered cars, and longer lug studs or wheel bolts may be required. It is the responsibility of the customer to insure wheel spacers are properly specified and installed.
Brake Vibration
The most common causes of brake vibration are run-out and thickness variations on the rotor. Double disc grinding insures the rotor run-out is within +/- 0.002” when installed on our aluminum hat. Thickness variation is within 0.0003”. Under the most extreme conditions, any rotor may warp. Thickness variation will never change, though pad material may get deposited on one spot of the rotor if a foot is left on the brake pedal after coming to a complete stop when the system is hot. This deposited material will induce a vibration, and if sever enough, can only be cured by replacing the rotor. Not following proper break-in procedures for the rotor and pads may also cause pad deposits on the rotor. STOPTECH is not liable for vibrations caused by extreme usage or improper break-in procedures.

2000+ BMW X5 Front Installation Instructions
Most 18” wheels will clear the outer diameter of the caliper on a 355mm kit. However, the more critical clearance is the gap between the spokes of the wheel and the face of the caliper. Do not assume that a 19”, 20” or even 24” wheel will clear the face of the caliper. The actual metal-to-metal distance measured from the stock rotor face to the inside of the wheel spokes is 62.25mm for the BMW X5 front kit. StopTech recommends at least 2mm of additional clearance. See the Wheel Fitment Drawing page on the StopTech website for more specific measurements, at www.stoptech.com. Note: Final fitment of the wheel to the caliper is the responsibility of the customer.
