Default 320 rotor

Anyone upgraded to a oversized front rotor on their 2007 klx? Where did you buy and did you do a stainless brake line? Thanks Jason

Off the 320 topic, you can do a KLX650C dual sport 300mm as a bolt on rotor, I think the difference for the caliper is the carrier that bolts on the fork leg, but not positive of that. If you find them used you might find a good buy.

In doing some quick research, you need the right fork inner if it matches up, to have the 300mm rotor. The caliper carrier is the same as the smaller rotor 250-300-650 that run the smaller 240 (I think) rotor.

So you would possibly need the fork assembly or at least the lower inner left stanchion tube to get the proper caliper position without cutting and modifying.

Most of the ads I find show either 1 rotor or 15 rotors, then say the pictures are just representations.. So you really don't know what you're looking at IMO

For an item that's mostly cosmetic, you'd think they'd get the photo specific for the model bike correct so the customer knows exactly what he's buying

the bolt patttern is 116mm 4 bolt so caliper mount would be problem to solve

Someone here bought used 650 wheel assemblies with aftermarket hubs and big rotor a few years ago. The thread has pics and a little mention of what had to be done to the caliper mount.

I know this is a long dead thread. But, I'm interested in what anyone is doing to get an oversized rotor on the 2007 klx250s. I don't know if I need 320mm or 280, but something must be better than the stock one!

I ended up swapping a fellow with a SF model. It works great and doesn't have any downsides off road. I think that EBC offers a 320mm kit for the KLX.

As you may have already read elsewhere, most people will agree that the s/s lines are the biggest bang for the buck. However, if you can find the SF rotor, it's 300mm and bolts right up. You can use your existing caliper with the SF caliper bracket. Kinda pricey from the dealer, but used ones are around from time to time. I just bought a used setup but didn't put it on yet. I do plan to go with the s/s lines also.

I have a 2014 so ymmv with the 2007 and parts interchangeability
