BEDDING IN MINTEX “M” TYPE MATERIAL
M1144 / M1155 / M1166 / M1177

1. Clean discs with brake cleaner or other solvent.
2. Apply 3 to 4 light applications of the brake from 30mph down
to 0mph then......
M1144: 6 / 7 steady applications 70mph down to 30mph
M1155: 8 / 9 steady applications 90mph down to 30mph
M1166: 9 / 10 steady applications 90mph down to 30mph
M1177: 9 / 10 steady applications 90mph down to 30mph

FINALLY.... Leave to cool as long as possible ( They now work from cold )
NOTE: DONT LEFT FOOT BRAKE ! & DONT LOCK-UP THE BRAKES !

So you seem to have followed the recommended procedure. I do remember
reading somewhere that it is possible to transfer too much material from the
pads to the disc during bedding in. I'll have to see if I can find that again.

YES !!!! that's exactly what I noticed also. There seems to be a lot of brake dust/pad material in the disc-rotor grooves. And alos noticed the color of the discs changed to darker... but still work with M1144. So would be great to get some more info on that and how to solve it.... Thanks a lot

Indeed I followed that procedure...
