does anyone know what the difference is between the 2 brake rotors for the blades, i can see that there is a bigger rotor on some and some are running basicly the F3 rotor(like Mine is). i like my stopping power so if i can get the bigger rotors to fit on my bike i would like to explore that. Does anyone know what is involved in this swap or if its even possible?

 

The pads that will give you more power will work better on a smaller rotor because they work better on heat. I know there's something to be said for the increased leverage on bigger rotors, but TBH, you're not going to notice anything with a rotor change on the streets.

If you really want more power, I'd go with a different M/C and better pads.

 

What conrice said, plus SS braided lines.

 

ill look into those options thanks guys, also im trying to get a spare set of wheel for the bike and i know the front wheel is running the bigger rotors does it matter on the wheels or just the rotor its self is bigger?(can i bolt my rotors to that wheel, the F3 looking rotors)

 

I'll disagree with that one. Very early on with my bike (92 Blade) I tried a kit that put larger floating rotors on the stock carrier (had to destroy the original disk in this case from memory - ... I think ...) and spaced out the stock calipers to suit. Difference was night and day! Even a little more leverage can be seen on the roads.

NB: kit not for sale any more .... can't even remember who made it.

Well there is 2 different OEM rotors one has more pad space there are a little bigger, most are running the CBR600F3 style rotors like mine is, i was just wondering what it took to swap them out and if it was worth the trouble.

 

What piston diameter is the 900rr m/c?

 

Get the SS brake lines first. They make a big difference from What I hear. Santa has a set for me this year

 

Conrice, im not sure ill have to measure them

Vinman, must be nice , im looking at a set right now its a set for front and rear from a company called CORE they look really nice you can choose the line color,fiting color, collar color, tag(logo) color they are pretty cool and they have a transparent Orange that will match my bike very well. like 149.99 for the whole set.
