solid rear rotor?

[Braahp]

Anyone ever use a solid rear rotor made by RPM(rapid precision machine) in MA.? They are supposed to be exactly like the Fredette rotor. If you watch eBay you might have seen a few on there for sale lately. I'm used to using oem Yamaha pads on my KDX but RPM says to use EBC X series...no metallic. The oem Yamahas are metallic of course. I've heard bad things about wear with the EBS pads. What would it do if I used these metallic pads with these rotors? They are closing these rotors out at $35-40! The price is definately right! Any comments appreciated from someone with experience with these RPM rotors. Thanks!

Braahp,

You might want to take a look at the following:

I find the solid rotors to be very forgiving in pad selection. Even a softer (non-metalic) pad will last quite awhile.

Use OEM Brake Pads

Forget all about the aftermarket brake pads!!! Use the Kawasaki OEM
brake pads. They are usually cheaper and last at least twice as long!!

Anybody else find the same?
