6. Sometimes, a second burnish session is required. If the

pads start smelling in the next track session, reduce

speed and braking decel to burnish targets and follow

step 2-4.

7. New pads installed on old rotors still need to be

burnished. New rotors installed with old pads should

be burnished at the track or street driven for 300 city

miles to develop an adequate lining transfer layer on

the rotor surface prior to track use.

8. Rotors that pulsate during track use should be re-

placed. Resurfacing of the rotors is not recommended,

as it removes mass from the rotor, reducing its thermal

capacity. Resurfacing also thins the rotor cheek, mak-

ing it less robust and increasing the likelihood of

pulsation in further track use.

DRIVING ON SLIPPERY SURFACES

Acceleration

Rapid acceleration on snow covered, wet, or other slip-

pery surfaces may cause the driving wheels to pull

erratically to the right or left. This phenomenon occurs

when there is a difference in the surface traction under

the rear (driving) wheels.

WARNING!

Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces is dangerous.
Unequal traction can cause sudden pulling of the rear
wheels. You could lose control of the vehicle and
possibly have a collision. Accelerate slowly and
carefully whenever there is likely to be poor traction
(ice, snow, wet mud, loose sand, etc.).
