Had 320mm galfers on my 04. Thought about swapping them to the new bike but was going to leave the braking system alone after I changed the pads.
Fast forward to now and I swapped in a pair of 320mm braking SK rotors. Took the bike out to get the pads/rotors bedded in yesterday and went on a long ride today with some high speed braking. Seems like the bike stops way better than with the stock rotors. Two finger braking is what I was after and it seems like I use less pressure for the same amount of braking than with the stock rotors. Before today, I only felt ABS kick in at the track once. I felt it kick in twice today under heavy braking from roll on speeds. LOL
So its either the slots in the rotor which gives more biting/sweeping edges, different material, or thicker rotors??? :dontknow:
Anyone else swapped to aftermarket rotors and felt/feel a difference in braking with the same pads, lines, m/c?
