You want to do what? Put the big SF rotor on a 21 front wheel? Why? The brakes grab and front end dives enough with the standard rotor on the S. With a bigger rotor your front end may be unridable off road.
If you want better brakes upgrade to a braided hose.
Furthermore the big rotor will get mashed off road in ruts, rocks, roots.
If you plan on only staying on road, then get the full setup.

I appreciate you sharing your wisdom...but I'm looking for parts & fit not advice.
THE KEY TO THE LARGER ROTOR IS MODULATION NOT "GRAB"
furthermore I HAVE frequent the woods (north NJ is all rock) on 17"s with a 320 mm rotor & giant 4 piston motomaster on the ktm SM I put together in 2004, its not as scary as you imagine....

In summary, yes fellow KLXers I am interested if anyone has bolted up the stock sf rotor to the stock s wheel & if everything fit....also if anyone is selling such items hit me up.

I have both sets of wheels the S and SF. The rotor will fit both sets, the wheel hubs are the same on both. You will just need the caliper bracket to space it out correctly. I have though about doing the same after seeing the large front rotor on my friends KTM Enduro 690 R. Going to try it off road and see if I can tell a difference or if it gets in the way.
