Last chance qualifier!!

I have used the drilled and lightweight rotors on a few Procross sleds and cant honestly see any difference. I left the stock rotor on my 2022 LTX

Some morning after leaving the sled outside of a long ride the day mefore I find my brake needs a 2-3 modulation before it actually brakes. Scared me last year. It did it again this year after my first ride. Not sure if its a mixture of humid/cold climate.

The SRX with us didn't do it and not any off the Doos. So I was wondering if the SRX/aftermarket rotors could prevent that.

The calipers are unaware of what rotor sits between the pads. If you mean you are not getting adequate pressure until you modulate the brakes a few times then you have air in your lines.

That's one reason to do the reverse bleed. You can tell when you get all the bad stuff out.

You can defiantly tell the difference between the old and new fluid doing it the way i explained...system does not hold alot of fluid and all the bubbles are out...can see a nice stream of fluid coming out...

I'm thinking perhaps the slotted rotors have less humidity build up since less surface area. So when you first used the brake it takes less time to remove.

I also have brake squeal when warm out sometimes around 0C. Who knows maybe they put different pads last year due to shortage.

rotor is probably frosted over. dont think the slotted rotors helps too much

Sounds like you have moistier in your brake fluid, moistier creates spongyness and when heat is present will cause fluid to expand causing brake drag sometimes.

If the calipers are working and you have good brake feel but poor initial braking then I agree. If the brakes are spongy at the grip then not so much. Slotted rotors cool faster and they have less surface area/mass so moisture is a bit less of a problem (less time to pull moisture out of the air). FWIW my slotted SRX rotors squeal but not too badly, lever feel is excellent.
