well crap, goddamit, F**K!

[Chaos]

Went out on a Sunday morning ride and found this at my destination.  This bike is NOT ALLOWED to have issues, dammit!  Only the Ural is supposed to break.  Guess I found the wear limit on the rotor, if anyone is interested, about 3.6mm.  Could not feel it but didn't do any panic stops.  Anyone have any K75-100 non abs rotors cheap?

German steel is over-rated....sorry for you situation!

There's a pair of abs rotors at kbike you could use instead.

[Snowman]

Isn't the safe min 4.5mm, how can you blame the steel in this case?

[Chaos]

Actually I blame it on disturbed electron flow caused by recently installed battery disconnect.  That and picking up bad habits from parking next to the Ural for 5 years.  Anyway, it's fixed now.

Curad, BandAid or did you go Chinese?

This won't last... Should've gone for duct-tape obviously... [emoji12]

Only the genyouwine article, none of that imitation crap!

Yes, it is a just band aid solution.  The only duct tape I had was pale yellow  and that just looked too gay.

I hope you sprayed Bacitracin on this before you applied it. Otherwise looks good.

[Chaos]

That was quick, ordered them Sunday.  Usually the beemer gets ridden when the Ural is down, first time their roles have been reversed.

[technostructural]

Where were these ordered from again?


They look great. I looked at prices for OEM replacements and it is absolutely absurd. I think I still have a bit more life left in mine, but I will measure this weekend.

[Chaos]

 I got them from Powersportparts512 on ebay, $179 ea free shipping http://www.ebay.com/itm/322407851314?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT but it looks like I got the last 2 they had.  Search EBC MD604LS

[The Dude]

Great deal.Those holes look less likely to suffer from crackitice.
I've long since stopped using my brakes.

[Chaos]

Now I got 2 shiny pieces on my grungy k :dunno2:

[Filmcamera]

They look great, I hope to do mine soon, they are all less than the 3.6mm yours went at...


Did you install new brake pads as well?

[Chaos]

My broken one was at 3.6mm, I think the min is 4 or 4.5mm.  The brake pads were pretty new and look good so I'm keeping them, seem fine so far.

Chaos looks like you have got two left hand discs  EBC actually do a left and right. I don't know whether it makes any difference but let us know if it starts pulling to one side or another. I suppose you could always reverse the RH disc on the carrier.

Now that is an astute observation, Martin. MAX BMW also lists left and right rotors. I'm surprised Chaos's well-developed sense of symmetry wasn't disturbed by the differences in the rotational directions of the hole patterns from one side to the other. :giggles

[Laitch]

but it looks like I got the last 2 they had.  Search EBC MD604LS

That part number is for the left side only. There are three remaining with the RS suffix from that vendor but Martin's idea is attractive to me—if somebody else experiments with it first, and is able to report back. It's probably just an assembly difference—the rotor just getting flipped. As far as the remaining quantities listed on the site, those are likely just there to create a sense of urgency—as if having cracked rotors or fading brakes weren't enough inducement to buy. :giggles

[Chaos]

I did notice the pattern flipped, thinking about it now that explains the MD604RS part #, quick search there is also a MD604LS :dunno2:   

[Laitch]

, quick search there is also a MD604LS :dunno2:

That's the one to which your link refers us in post #12, so we've come full circle, rotor-wise.  :2thumbup:

[Chaos]

and my rotors hole patterns now have an appropriate chaotic look :yes

[Chaos]

greetings...

caint just flipp it without consiquence...

more later...

j o

Thank Zeus I don't actually ride the thing, sounds like all hell would break loose.  I just keep it around to experience that warm and fuzzy bricky feeling.

[Laitch]

caint just flipp it without consiquence... the venilation hoes will be backwards... which means your pads will overheat... which will cause a wobble... which will heat your tior and wheel... which will cause your china rubber pull thru valve stem to fail... which will cause immediate deflation... your tior will roll off the rim... and your rim will catch a rail road track... and a mile long freighter will jump the tracks to miss you... and will derail into a field of mature weed by the prison and catch on fior... the prisoners will be higher than they should be... and escspe to skyline chili... consume hunderts of mini chili chee dogs... discharge enough methane gas to cause a mushroom cloud which the russians mistake for nuclear aggression... putin launches missels... usa nukes russia... now you caint getts parts for your urail... dont flipp it bro... dont flipp it

Chaos Theory without the butterfly wings.  :clap:

At least now I know why I will die in a fiery inferno of nuclear flames.


I have had a good life, it is worth  it, swap that disc around and lets roll  :riding:
