C-14 rotor diameter?
« on: July 13, 2011, 04:01:50 PM »
Who has measured the diameter of the rotors on the C-14?
I've heard that the rotors are common between the ZX-14 and the C-14.
If true, Brembo makes a full floating rotor for the ZX-14, but all of the Brembo vendors advertise two diameters for the ZX-14.
 320mm & 310mm.
I've used the full floating Brembos on my sport bikes and I've been very happy with them. I'm ready to do the same to the Connie but I want to make sure to order the right diameter.
Thanks in advance,
Myleslong

  • It's only really cold if you fall down in it.
    • C-14 farkles you almost cannot ride without.

According to Kawasaki they are 310 mm, as the other poster mentioned. They feel bigger after they warp though, a LOT bigger sometimes.  ;)

I would make sure that they are the same part number, otherwise you may be disappointed with the fitment.

Will confirm the same part number before ordering.
Thanks to all for the responses.

Another thing to consider...ABS or not?  10/11 bike vs 08/09?

I believe the rotors are the same diameters between all C-14's Jim. The rotor carrier is different on 2011's but the actual rotor itself appears to be identical to the earlier types. Of course the new rotor has a new part number because the rotor comes only with the carrier as an assembly.

Just sayin.....The Law of Unintended Consequences has a field day with this kind of thing.
