Can anyone tell me if Yana Shiki front brake rotors are any good ? They look nice but I don't want them if they are garbage !
Thanks ???
Thanks ???
Just curious but how could any rotor be 'bad'?
Just a flat piece of metal? Some may wear/thin out sooner than others but other than that what would be a concern?
I'd be more worried about the pads and calipers.
Rotors are not one solid flat piece on a bike.
Personally I would never run anything from them with their track record. Rotors may be fine but they do make a lot of junk.
No, I realize there are carriers and 'buttons' that connect the actual rotor.
I was more thinking like grades of steel. Kinda like knives. Knifemakers are always sure to state what type of steel their blades are made of but I don't recall really seeing anyone who makes rotors bragging about what kind of steel their made of? So I'm curious if a $500 Brembo rotor has better steel in it which will last longer than a $100 Galfer?
And I also don't recall seeing anyone brag about 'we use X type of steel which results in shorter stopping distances'?
I have the rotors, the wind screen and had the slip ons which I really liked would still have the slip ons if I hadn't wrecked it. 100% satisfied with what I have received from Yana Shiki. While on the other hand people have praised Harbor Freight and I have bought about 10 things there and have had to return 7 for refunds cause the replacements were just as bad.
Keep in mind though I don't do track days with my bike. Beating up on your brakes on road course is not the same as riding on the street. From my experience with them they are just good or better than the oem.
They held up great, mind you I am not and aggressive rider never gave me a problem till I took off one day with the disc lock still on. I don't think any rotor would have stayed straight after the endo I did with that lock on the rotor.Busa 1166 are you still on the forum if so how are the Yana Shiki rotors holding up????
