Here's a pic of the Titax 400EX rotor on the Z. I know others have already posted pics, but I just wanted to prove that I did it! You can also see the PB block off plate.

Looks good, I haven't had a problem with my Z's rear rotor yet.

 

[Z400intheair]

mine squeak every once in a while but not sure if Im gonna replace it yet

is that rotor thicker than the factory? it looks like it is from the pic.

Yep.

Definitely! I had to back the parking brake adjuster out quite a bit before it would fit. Seems to be fine, though. It still rolls pretty well.

 

[thrshr]

right on. it looks much better too. cross drilled rotors have that "racer" look. :wink:

 

[fasterz]

what is wrong with the stock rotor?

 

[thrshr]

it warps and consequently squeals.

Looks barely ridden. How long have you have your Z?

I've had it since the beginning of July, but I've only gotten to ride it about 5 or 6 times. I'm just now starting to bring it out of the break-in stage.

Does anyone know why the rotor on these things are so bad. I think I only rode about 2 times before I noticed it was warped. I rarely used the back break in those 2 times. So I don't think I heated it up that bad. When I went to wax my chain I noticed it. Oh well, along with replacing everything else I can just add that to the list.

 

[bbertram]

Its funny, I drive my Z hard and my rear rotor is fine.

 

[kentuckycat]

Maybe there was just a bad batch of rotors on the American models. :roll: Mine started squeaking on the first ride.

those holes that every other manufacturer puts in their brake disks serve a purpose! COOLING!!!! heating with rapid cooling will warp a rotor off by as much as 5 degrees!

I can't see the picture.

 

[kentuckycat]

I had taken the picture down from my picture website. I fixed it.

 

[z400cody]

i have ridden mine hard and used the back brakes quite a bit and they never sqeak or anything like that

 

[kentuckycat]

Funny. Like I said, it was probably just a bad batch. Mine was squeaking from day one.
