It packs into the wheel, coats the disc and carries fine grit into the caliper, and on a long cross-country race it keeps coming for hours. Accossato lists the DK268 for the Yamaha YZ125X from 2021 to 2023: a one-piece steel front disc, 270 mm across and 3 mm thick, which bolts on in place of the original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixed front disc for the Yamaha YZ125X, 2021 to 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-piece steel construction, from the off-road range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e270 mm diameter, 118 mm centre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 mm thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix fixing holes of 6.5 mm on a 134 mm circle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterchangeable with the original disc, Accossato states\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum thickness printed on the disc for easy checks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo German ABE documented; for competition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccossato makes the DK268 as a single steel disc, without carrier or rivets. It is 270 mm in diameter and 3 mm thick, with a 118 mm centre and six 6.5 mm holes on a 134 mm circle that match the original mounting. Like every disc from Accossato, it has its minimum working thickness printed on it. The Italian manufacturer says its brake discs are shaped by lessons learned in Superbike, Moto2 and Moto3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eClay on the Pads\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn mud, a brake works as a grinder. Clay and water form a paste with fine sand in it, and every application of the brake drags that paste between pad and disc. On a YZ125X the result after a muddy race can be dramatic: pads worn far more than in a dry month, and a disc with fresh grooves in its surface. The brake may also squeal, or bite unevenly, until the mud is gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the race there is little to do beyond using the brakes briefly and firmly rather than dragging them, which keeps the pads cleaner. Afterwards the work begins. Wash the wheel and caliper with plenty of water before the mud dries, because dried clay sets hard around the pistons and in the caliper. Remove the pads and check how much is left, then look at the disc surface. Light, even grooves are normal wear. Deep, sharp grooves, or a thickness close to the printed minimum, mean the disc should be replaced. A disc scoured thin by a wet season is exactly the kind Accossato warns about: under extreme stress, a worn disc can break. Fit new pads with a new disc and bed them in over a few laps of gentle braking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccossato lists the DK268 for the YZ125X from 2021 to 2023. The larger DK269, a floating disc, is listed for the same years, and at the rear the DK168 also covers 2021 to 2023. The YZ125X uses one disc at the front. Tighten the bolts to Yamaha's figure and check the front wheel bearings, which take their share of the mud too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have no German ABE and no type approval on record for the DK268, which is sold for off-road competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eScope of Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe delivery is one DK268 front disc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Fixed brake disc, steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: DK268\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition: Front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOuter diameter: 270 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter: 118 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness: 3 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHole circle: 134 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting holes: 6 x 6.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement: Interchangeable with the original equipment disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWear limit: Minimum thickness marked on the disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment: Yamaha YZ125X (2021–2023)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoad approval: None documented, track use only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Accossato","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53784113021194,"sku":"DK268","price":90.44,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/DK268_88215809-8356-48b4-8093-1bf718fc60f6.png?v=1790026476","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/accossato-fixed-front-brake-disc-yamaha-yz125x-2021-2023-dk268","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
