And yet the stresses on the car wheel are far higher.

Trains have (well, had, I’ve been out of that business for many years) multiple discs per axle in some cases. Typically, medium speed & freight have one disc per wheel (which are fixed to the axle) but high speed trains may have three or four discs per axle. Diameter isn’t the issue, it’s energy, and how hot the disc (and pads) would get under a full emergency deceleration from Vmax. The limiting deceleration is, as with motorbikes and cars, determined by the grip between wheel and rail. Atb Simon |

Some tractors have multi discs on the axle running in Oil? in a sealed unit.

Yes, most off-highway equipment has multi-plate wet discs.

I suppose this isn't much help regarding the original question
 . Yep the V85 brakes appear to be soft, I stripped the caliper and lubed everything than needed doing. Its a little better but improves with use. I think its a dealer job to bleed the brakes with the ABS system.

Again, re V7 850, not specifically V85TT, but service manual says brake bleeding can be done in the conventional manner.
Does sound like should go back to dealer. Mine did take nearly 100 miles to stiffen up and start workng properly, with new pads of course, but he says hundeds of km. |

Some news about this problem: I changed the oil fluid, bleed the system and it become slightly better. Took the bike for the first revision, complained about the rear brake, they changed the fluid again, tried the motorcycle, comparing with other V85TT that were in the shop and said to me it was ok.
Actually it is a bit worse than when I bleed the system (the pedal brakes further down).
So I am changing for EBC brake pads. I found some on Ebay but on the reference they say that they are suitable for models between 2019 and 2020. They changed the rear brake in the 2021 and 2022 models or are the pads the same for a 2022 model? "EBC FA256 737.09.50 For Moto Guzzi 850 V85 Tt 2019-2020 |

Hi,
It seems you are right (see the previous post). It seems that the brake is OK, or at least it is what the Guzzi mechanic says. He compared the breaking of my bike with other V85tt he had in the shop and says it is about the same. So, I am going to change for EBC HH, and about that extension, I cannot use anything that is not from moto guzzi without voiding the warranty, but they have this: It only increases marginally the size of the lever, but will give the foot more support. By the way, do you know if the EBC right pad for the rear brake is the EBC FA256? They say they are for the 2019 and 2020 models. They have changed the rear brake or it is the same for the 2021 and 2022 models? Edited by Pernao - 14 Nov 2022 at 01:59 |

I doubt that anyone will have the definitive answer to that, but I have found that suppliers can be slow to update the years to which parts they sell apply and that unless the new year model is obviously a significant refresh the existing parts usually fit the previous model. Unless someone knows for certain I suggest you order them and compare to the originals and if they look like they won’t fit, return them. Best to confirm with the supplier beforehand. FWIW the rear brake on my V7 850 is not brilliant but it does work.

Has it been on an MOT brake tester ?

Not mine, no. The bike isn’t old enough to need an MOT yet. FWIW I find that most disc rear brakes on the bikes I’ve owned are not particularly powerful or progressive. The one on my V7 850 is a bit better than the one on my NC750X. The last really good rear brake on a bike I’ve had was on my 2015 RE UCE Classic. That had a drum rear brake that was great once I’d taken it to bits and reassembled it properly. That said it’s a long time since I’ve owned a cruiser type bike or an old British bike, which usually had far more effective rear brakes than front ones…

No, never been tested in a MOT brake tester.

But you could go and discuss it with them so you could.

That's reletively easy to do in the UK Min, but I don't know what the system is in Portugal. But certainly a check of the actual braking efficiency would be useful. |

It will almost certainly pass.
A roller is measuring both tyre and brake friction. Assuming the roller isn't shiny, wet and lubricated with years of debris, you'll achieve the 30/25 percent level with rashers of bacon fitted instead of pads. What you are mostly measuring is the balance of tyre to brake, the tester assuming a fixed relationship to determine the brake's influence. Get a heavy operator and low tyre pressure and it won't peak fast enough to interpolate 30/25. Too light and a good stomp on the pedal and lock is too fast. The MOT isn't a serious test (It's years out of date), it's there to trap the ones with the cardboard packaging fitted instead of the pads. If you want to see the real number you need to strap the bike down and measure the load as part of the calculation. 25% decel is typical at the bottom of a motorway slip road with an underpass that restricts vision and results in overconfidence then slight panic. It feels uncomfortable, but isn't teeth in the headstock stuff. If that's the performance stood on the pedal you won't be happy. What everyone wants is a change of feel which isn't measured. Less travel to the point decel is detectable is desired. Faster build up to temperature and thus less pedal variation to achieve a steady state. Most bikes would benefit from a bigger master cylinder (or smaller calliper) but would then need adjustable controls to stop them feeling too vicious to riders wearing size 12 diving boots and the service intervals might not be acceptable. Changing the pads for the temperature relationship can help, so can making the pedal adjust. Personally I don't feel Piaggio accept any warranty, so have no problem using non-MG solutions, but you have to gauge that yourself. Andy
