Just a word to the wise about rear brake rotors.

[ZiggyF]

I have a 2014 RTL that I just did tires, brakes & the rear rotor. Because of my negligence the rear inside of the rotor was scoured. Finding a rotor for ABS braking was next to impossible. I found two in Florida, one on Bradenton and one in Tampa which was closer. The price was $240.00…..not cheap. The ones you see on Amazon say they are correct but it must be referring to Non ABS systems.

So a word to the wise…..keep checking those rotors especially on the old trikes!!!

You should have tried Lamonster 's or Baja Ron's and got a EBC rotor. BTW, the ABS does not read off the rotor.

As stated above, it is not the rotor but the ABS ring that is important and needs to be transferred to the new rotor. That is unless you are buying rotors that are not meant for the machine specifically... EBC makes them for our bykes and I have them on mine. Just xferred the ABS rings to the new rotors and off I went!
For example:

EBC Brake Rotor (Rear)(2008 - 2012)

The steel used in the EBC® rotor blades is a special stainless blend with higher friction effect than normal heat-treated stainless steel found on stock discs. Boasts up to 10% improvement in friction effect improving brakes even further. Weight of the X and XC series is reduced by 5–10% by...

There is no reason to spend $240.00 on a rotor. The correct rotor is easily obtained from numerous sources. Hypurone is correct in saying that the rotor has nothing to do with the VSS (ABS) system. There is no such thing as a non-ABS rotor for the Spyder.

Not sure where the OP is getting information. But something is a bit off there.
