Rear brake questions (and gratuitous maintenance pics)

[chipripper]

What is the minimum thickness of rear rotor? I see it stamped on the fronts but not the back.


What direction should the arrow on the rear brake pad retaining clip face? Was installed facing rear of bike when mounted (ie in the direction of wheel spin). Ducati suite tutorial indicates opposite (Should be installed facing front of bike when caliper is mounted / opposite of wheel spin). Does it matter if it is wrong?

Arrow points the same way as normal rotor rotation.
It's intended to push the pads into contact with the tabs on the caliper, so that it doesn't go CLACK when you apply the brake.

Minimum thickness is for sure stamped on there.
IIRC it's 3.6mm.

Thanks Speeddog. I'll re-check for the stamping.
