NEVER ASSUME AS IT MAKES AN *** OUT OF U AND ME.
The research is simple just use the Kawi fiche and cross it over to the other #'s from moto-master and/or EBC and braking........my stuff has been installed for a while now.for a hint.....the KX might have something to do with it.....maybe the 500? ....whoops i let it go.....
Now I guess I was assuming the KDX rotors were the same as the KLX300'ssince they look the same

RE: Lets see your rotors
Tremor has & I have a KDX rotor in my garage. I never bolted it up because I never found a rotor listed for the KDX, so I had no reason too.
Now I do.

KLXer helping IG? Well, as long as I get to prove I was right.
It fits. Bolts right on, did it tonight. The rotor is slightly thinner and AT LEAST 50% lighter.

RE: Lets see your rotors
LOL, well now, looks like maybe we can be friends after all eh? No, seriously, I appreciate you doing that. I'd like to see some pics if you took any. I really like the way that rotor looks compared to the oem KLXS rotor. I think the KDX rotor looks more off-road looking than the stock KLXS rotor. Now that I know it fits I guess I can start my search. You wouldn't want to sell that rotor maybe next spring would you? Just out of curiosity, why do you think the KLXS got the other rotor and it's heavier steel? I'm thinking maybe to stand up to the rigors of on-road riding, maybe not. Anyone?

RE: Lets see your rotors
Just a guess, but since steel (KLX) is harder than cast iron (KDX), i'd say longevity was the concern, since you rack-up more miles on the slab. I'd much rather have the lighter weight and increased stopping power of the cast iron rotor though.

RE: Lets see your rotors
???? isn't this a little old info? I mean, he already ordered the rotor and I already admitted I was assuming the KDX would not fit. Still, no one has proven that a KDX rotor WILLfit the KLX250S. I still don't understand the end of your post about the "500" and the KX "having something to do with it." care to explain?
