Does anyone know if the front rotors from a new ZX14R will fit an older 2006/2007 ZX14? Also did they make any improvements to the stock rotors on the new 14R over the stockers on the older generation 14's?
Thanks

They should be a direct swap. Unless they are a little thicker or made of a different material, they are Ed Zachary the same.

Thanks Hammerhead - I thought they should be a direct swap. I think I read or heard somewhere that they may be made of thicker material to finally prevent the warping problem they had on previous years. For the price I think I may pull the trigger and put them on the shelf. I may need to replace the rotors on my 07 to sell it and I have a low mileage 06 that will need them given enough time. Maybe I will put the new ones on the 06 and take the stockers from the 06 and transplant them onto the 07.

Yup - they are gone.

KHI must have done SOMETHING to improve the quality and/or durability of the front rotors or you would be hearing about warpage and shuddering from 14R owners since the new bike has more power and more weight. I don't have stock rotors, so no way to compare, but if I did, I would be checking the R models out to see if the rotors are any thicker. I believe the stock rotors on the older models were 5mm thick. My Galfer rotors, that have between 20K and 40K miles measure about 5.15-5.2mm, so I assume they were probably around 5.25 mm when new.
