Rx3 Front break rotor

gaborbelan · 07-10-2018, 12:01 PM

Hi guys, I would like to ask if somebody tried some similar front break rotor for rx3? I checked on the CSC website and their shipping are so expensive,I would like to know if its some similar parts for that. I live in Europe.

Cheers

Yes....and I need to order one myself. I believe it's the Suzuki Bergman rotor. I had it stashed in my Amazon list but like a fool, deleted it.
I got a replacement for my stock one from CSC on warranty but it started chattering and giving uneven braking last week.

Here's what Spud had to say:
I have verified the EBC, MD929D brake rotor is a perfect fit for the front wheel of the Zongshen RX3. This brake rotor fits the following motorcycles.

Front Wheel

98-02, Suzuki Bergman 250
99-02, Suzuki Bergman 400

You will also need the bolts:

It's also a full floating rotor. A vast improvement over the stocker.

Good luck with the replacement rotors. I followed a recommendation from this list for what was supposed to be a drop in replacement. It's darn close but the bolt circle diameter is about 2mm off from what the RX3 requires. One solution is to drill slightly larger holes and then countersink slightly larger countersinks...but now you have an issue with getting the rotor perfectly centered. If you get the Bergman spec rotors and they actually work, please let us know. Floating rotors would be a real improvement!

I think Spud ran one on his RX3 without issue. I'll have to search it out.

EDIT: FOUND IT!!!

I can supply a stock rotor or I am making an upgrade set
I live in China

NzBrakelathes · 07-10-2018, 08:35 PM

This is my RX3 but I have the Alloy wheel and differnt hole patter - I am trying to make a set up the same for the spoked wheel but so far no proper fitting disc - That is all I am stuck on.

I also found that the Burgman rotor was not an exact fit for the front stock RX3 wheel. I made one fit by carefully walking the mounting bolts into place but this stresses the hub and I would not recommend doing it. Odd that there are two rotor sizes that are so close. So far however the only exact fit rotors I have found are the OEM or the larger rotor CSC sells in their large brake rotor kit.

I dug up the rotor I bought, that was a close fit but not exact, and found the following numbers:
PXCKBA61328
4162

This is an EBC rotor, not sure what bikes it is supposed to fit but it had been reported to be a drop-in replacement for the RX3.

I have a 320mm rotor sample coming very soon I am told.
Hold your fire wait wait as I hope soon enough to be able to offer a 320mm rotor and 4 piston caliper set up for the spoked wheel bikes

I know it's been a while, but… any news on this?

It’s not happening, too many dramas
Only alloy wheel option like I have which is ok but pricey

Bummer

I have this https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=44795842832 in my cart, if Google translate is not lying to me, one of the options offered is for spoke wheels + original caliper spacer. Still haven't confirmed nor decided.

Spoked wheel is a drilled out x5 rotor and I sent that plus bracket to someone and it all ended up where it belonged in the bin
Ugly as sin and wasted money
I run the alloy wheel disc that’s ok and I run a 4 piston set up that’s ok once pads thrown in the bin n decent bought
Forget it n give me the $100 for nothing you’ll be better off

NzBrakelathes · 09-26-2019, 08:50 AM

I had a disc made - floating about somewhere
Made in Malaysia and correctly spaced holes etc
Bracket is where it all became to complex cause no one wanted to draw and make a small quantity
Actually no one could or would make a drawing as they only wanted to copy from a sample or to a drawing already done
