If you change the disk and it's not a HONDA disk you must change also
the "brake plaquets" (i don't know the name in english, GARNITURES ou
PASTILLES DE FREIN in French, PASTILLAS DE FRENO in Spanish ). If the
disk and the "plaquets" are not from the same constructor the disk OR
the "plaquets" will be eroded prematurely.
(Sorry for the english)

Hi Torsten, bad luck but as you say, shit happens. to your questions:
- of course you only need to change one disc, 'cause the hydraulic system
adapts itself to the different thickness of the discs :-)
- at Africa Queens they have much cheaper disks for our baby, but i
didn't have tried them yet.
- don't go for new original ones 'cause they'll make you poor. Buying a
used one (around 150.-dm) is ok, just look for the thickness and for the
straightness. the latter you can proof by putting it on a glas plate --
against the light you can see if there are different distances to the
plate. hope to help you to save some money ;-) H.
