Posted May 21, 201113 yr Hello! Hope you are all well! Just wondering if ANYONE can be kind enough to help me...my XVS 125 dragstar failed it's MOT today because of a scored front brake disc. They quoted £140 for a replacement which seems a bit high especially as they will charge fitting ontop. Does anyone know where I can find one for a 2005 model online?? I've managed to find some EBC ones for under £100 but they are for 2000-2004 models. There's also a Kagizume brake disc on eBay but again that is for the 2000-2004 models!!! Can anyone suggest anywhere to find them? Also, can anyone suggest what make to get, etc? Any help would be MUCH appreciated!!! Thanks as always fellow YamaHeads!!!
May 21, 201113 yr get the 04 disk. it will bolt straight on (as far as i know they only made the bike up to 04 but urs might have only been registered in 05 ) as to getting someone to fit it........id do it my self. saves some dosh and its not hard.
May 21, 201113 yr Author yeah maybe mine was made in 04 and registered in 05?! Thanks for the reply - much appreciated! Will have a look into fitting it myself...any tips??
May 21, 201113 yr I thought they stopped making them in 04 too. If youre strapped for cash, you can remove the existing disc and have it skimmed to remove the scoring marks. Find a local engineering workshop or do you know someone with a lathe. Minimum allowable thickness is 4.5mm, dont go thinner than that. Its a beer money job Torque the disc bolts back up to 23Nm, and use Loctite threadlocker on them
May 21, 201113 yr yeah maybe mine was made in 04 and registered in 05?! Thanks for the reply - much appreciated! Will have a look into fitting it myself...any tips?? its pretty easy to be honest so the only tip i can give you is dont loose any bits!
May 21, 201113 yr Author Thanks guys! REALLY appreciate it! Have you heard of kagizumi discs or do you think it's best to go with EBC? THANKS AGAIN!!!!
May 21, 201113 yr Moderator wemoto do a cheap pattern one. http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/Yamaha/XVS_125_Dragstar/00-04/picture/Disc_Front_Pattern_-_Right_Hand/
May 21, 201113 yr Author Thanks! Are pattern as good as EBC though? With delivery, the pattern is about £82. I just found an EBC for £91. Should probably go with EBC??
