Just come across these discs. I would have thought they might be a bit cheaper as you are only getting about half, lol.

I may be wrong, but I always thought the holes shouldn't be any larger in diameter than the thickness of the brake disc...

Very airy! I'd use it on the rear. But for a lot less effort and often less money thinner slotted rotors from maxims fit too.

Yes, those holes are way too big. That one's trash. You shouldn't make them any bigger than the thickness of the disc. On the 7mm thick 650 disc, I used just under 1/4" holes (#1 bit) and on the 5mm SR500 disc I used 3/16" holes.

Haha. What a terrible disc. I guess it's for track use only for people with boiling fluid. :rollseyes:

 

[pumps]

Damn, doesn't seem worth the effort making all those holes for a buy it now of $36.99. Looks funny too.

 

[Ghetto]

Looks scary but it is only the rear....

 

[XSRob]

Scary indeed. Has front too!

I'd imagine that the leading edge of those holes being GIANT would rip pieces of brake pad off with every stop and you'd only get like 20 stops out of a set of pads. If you like changing pads with every fill up i'd say jump all over em.

 

[angus67]

the holes dont seem to overlap. shouldn't they? Agreed,too many holes.

That disc will stress crack between those holes and the pads might last a month or two depending on the usage.

Is that correct Maxim rotors fit the XS650's? No fittment issues front/rear as well?

 

[gggGary]

Well you have to mix and match, The maxim use the smaller rotor size as found on the back of the XS650 and front of the XS750. XS1100 disks fit the 650 front. So far I have found all the 6 bolt disks before the 4 puck calipers interchange if they are the same diameter (same mount, same offset) I think there are only two diameters out there. Several are thinnner than the XS 650 disk so there COULD be issues with worn pads with a thin disk??? If you know different PLEASE speak up.
