AP RACING Racing sintered Front Brake Pads for KTM, HUSQVARNA and GAS GAS 2012-2020

The AP RACING LMP485ORR set of brake pads is designed for GAS GAS TXT 125, TXT 250, TXT 280, TXT 300, KTM FREERIDE 250, FREERIDE 350, SX 85 and HUSQVARNA TC 85 from 2012 to 2020. The pads clamp the disc to slow the bike down. Off-road, they work in mud, water and sand, which wear them quickly: pads in good condition keep the braking powerful and easy to modulate.

Specifications

• Brand: AP RACING
• Manufacturer part number: LMP485ORR
• EAN code: 5700757013067
• Compound: sintered metal

When to replace it?

• Friction material worn below the minimum thickness in the manual (often 1 to 2 mm), or wear groove gone.
• Metallic grinding noise when braking.
• Lever or pedal going further, brakes with less bite.

Check pad thickness before every ride, especially in muddy conditions. Never wait for metal-to-metal contact: it scores the disc within a few stops.

Fitting tips

1. Push the caliper pistons back while keeping an eye on the brake fluid level in the reservoir, which will rise.
2. Clean the caliper and the pad pin, and replace the pin if it's marked.
3. Fit the pads with their spring or clip, the right way round, then pump the lever or pedal until you get normal travel back.
4. Check the condition of the disc: a disc that's too thin or warped wears out new pads.
5. Bed in the pads with a dozen progressive stops before riding hard.

Why AP RACING?

AP Racing's LMP motorcycle pads are made in Europe, and the brand has undertaken ECE R90 homologation of all its friction materials that can be used on the road. For off-road, there's a sintered compound built to last in abrasive conditions and a sintered Racing compound for competition, with more bite and a good feel at the lever.

Frequently asked questions

Sintered or organic?
Sintered (metallic) pads last longer and stay effective in mud and water: they're the benchmark for motocross and enduro. Organic pads are gentler on the disc and bite well from cold.

Should both sides be changed?
Always replace the complete set for a given caliper, and check the disc while you're at it.
