Has anyone upgraded their Super T rotors?

At around $600 plus, is it worth it?
Can I ask you what more you are looking for in the brakes? Is there an issue with your rotors ? Many manufactures require the rotor and pad to be mated together.

I'm looking for more style, less weight & more performance.
Obviously pads would be replaced too.
It's all about farkling.

Maybe these AXIS/CMC ceramic rotors? Overkill? You know it.

Nice looking rotors and I am sure they will function better but... if mine stock brakes function better I will have to get a seat belt. :D We will see how the stock brakes function as they age.

Yes, you appear to be "all about farkling" ::003:: Brakes are the last thing I would be looking to 'improve' on this bike, so I can only speculate that 'bling' is at issue here. Beware that rotors offered by Braking and a few other brands have a higher iron content,which improves bite from the pads, but also wear out much quicker than the OEM steel units. If that's all good, farkle away and be sure to post picks. :)

I like the SRX. I wonder if that was Yamaha's answer to the Suzuki Goose, or if the SRX came first?
