After looking at various other fazers, I've noticed my front discs are very different compared to all the others I've seen. Are these some sort of aftermarket replacement/improvement?
-
Jeez there isnt much metal there. They look like aftermarket wavy disks, Why people fit them I have no idea, It's not like stock disk on a motorcycle arnt going to cool efficiently or spin the water off them, I think its just fashion.
-
They look like a tin foil stencil :lol They don't look like there's much meat left on them. How thick are they?

Yeah, I see what you mean, but they're a lot better than the picture does them credit. They were only fitted 6 months ago in an authorised Yamaha dealers (for the previous owner) and cost him £220, so I'd like to think they're not cheap shit

I think you are being slightly misled, according to previous posts on this site i fitted Galfer pads on the front in early 2013 and my discs still look like new.
Still on the same pads and the discs still look untouched, although i will replace the pads soon as i have a new set in the garage.
If we can spot an issue, a bike cop will rub his hands!
Discs need replacing fella, you need to save up a few hundred quid rather sharpish! Either that or pay fines and have points on top. :'(

Hi you need to measure the thickness of the front discs. Measure them in a few places, It's best done with a micrometer or at a push with a set of Vernier calipers. If they're less than 3.5 mm replace.

Honestly, there's no need, they're done, as far as legal terms anyway.
They'll still work but i can't for one second imagine them getting through the next MOT.
As i said earlier, if we can spot an issue from a photo then there is a problem.

I know they were changed, as I was given all the paperwork, which included the receipt for these getting replaced, but I will measure them and my MOT is due in May, so will probably be replacing them in the next month. Think I'll be going back to standard ones :)

Discs and rear shock are criminally expensive unfortunately.
What pads were you using on the front? I've never seen front discs worn that badly before.

I really couldn't tell you mate, as they were fitted by the previous owner and still have about 50% left on them

If they are doing the job, leave their fate in the hands of the MoT
