It is time to replace the brake pads on my 2003 KLR650 (6000 miles). My question is about the brake rotors. I cannot machine them like car rotors, and I haven't seen any discard specs. Do brake rotors on the KLR's need to be replaced whenever installing new pads? If not, how do you know when to replace the rotors? Sorry for the lame question, but this is my first motorcycle (bought it last summer). Thank you in advance.

The minimum thickeness (5.5 mm) is stamped into the rotor. 5.5 mm is .216 inches. -----Original Message----- From: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com [mailto:DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of le5150mv Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2006 8:35 PM To: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Brake Rotor Question It is time to replace the brake pads on my 2003 KLR650 (6000 miles).

In my experience, your rotors will last through dozens of pad replacements. You shouldn't need to repace the rotors unless you have somehow managed to damage them ( i.e. warping or badly scarring the surface). Cheers, Steve
