Front brake rotor replacement

o2jmpr · 08-14-2018, 01:34 PM

I could use some community knowledge again.

Please post if you know where to find brake rotors for the Hawk. I believe I may need a front replaced but it would be nice to know where to find both for future reference.

Is it possible to get one made for a Japanese dirt bike that will bolt right on?

As always, thanks for any help.

I know I've seen photos of other Hawks that had aftermarket brake rotors installed on the front and rear. The TT250's front rotor appears to have a different bolt pattern than the stock Hawk front rotor, but there's probably a way to adapt it and make it fit. I don't have measurements of the front rotor disc but I'm guessing it's a fairly standard size and you may have more options since you've ordered an aftermarket rim...

Thank you Lithawk. I do know of those places but I didn’t specify that in my post.
I refuse to purchase anything from a “Manny” shop and RPS has crazy markup as well and they’ve stated they prefer not to sell parts direct and ask customers to use their dealer network. I believe these places don’t get much more than a few hundred dollars at best on bike sales but they sure inflate the parts a crazy amount. I think I’ll just try to take some measurements and take a chance on eBay or Amazon if I need one.

Thanks again for the reply.

the TT 250 has a totally different front end, it is mostly used only on export bikes and called heavy duty, the hawk has a generic hub that appears to be the same as cheaper Chinese bikes etc.

The disc at $50 is reasonable in the USA

If you wanna buy them for $12 sent to your house it can be done.
Make your house be in China and live work breath in China. (I did)

If the USA is your choice to live n work then you gotta accept a higher income level of freedom and prices on goods there as others in the USA wanna make a living in that country.
