The rotor part number is slightly different from the year 2006 to the 2007 year. This means the part was updated some how. It could be just a cosmetic design change. Nothing more. | Babits is wrong then. In 05 they switched to the 6 spoke wheel and went to the larger diameter rotors. The rotors on an 04 and older bike are to small for the forks on an 06 and newer bikes and only go about halfway into the calipers. And consequently the wheel from an 05 and up bike can't be put on the older forks, b/c the calipers sit to close to the axle and the rotors will contact the back of the calipers and not allow the wheel to go into place.

Man those babits guys are slackers, you can even look at pics and see they aren't the same. 05 has the wave style, 04 does not.

According to the S/M rotors on both bikes start out at 6.2mm thick and should be replaced if they wear thinner that 5.5 mm.
