apparently the price of weight savings is spendy, I had no idea.

So looking at the rotor it's pretty thin, wondering if the cooling fins are providing additional strength? The weight loss would be nice, but not at the expense of a warped rotor.

I've Got a spare Caleb, I'll drill them now and try it tomorrow.

2.88 before, 1.9 after 
You can see from my post times how long it took.

Almost a pound, impressive. Are the cooling fins rigid or flimsy? Do you think they were stiffening the rotor at all?

Hey Guys:
Rlcofmn, did you drill or grind them off? Just curious. I ordered a disk off ebay and am going to try the same thing.
Caleb, the disk looks pretty thick compared to superbikes, mind you their mounts are alot bigger in diameter too. I'm sure the fins stiffen the disk, but I still don't get why go this direction. Most other HP brakes I've seen use drilled disks to save weight and cool them down. I was looking at the new AC's and thats their approach.
I'm not too worried about warpage, because I'm not on them enough to get them that hot repeatedly, but with my luck, they'll warp.
The only thing I can see is the park brake contacting the disk as you bounce down the trail. Did you guys notice much brake dust on the RHS of the sled before you deleted the park brake? On my XTX, I've noticed that there is as much brake dust on the right as belt dust on the left, and it doesn't make sense to me. I've owned too many sleds to count, and I don't ever remember seeing so much dust....
Mind you with a 2 smoke, the concept of a clean cab was out the window too, so maybe it was there all along.
I'll get mine on too and see how it goes.

Caleb, the fin's were pretty flimsy, I don't think they were doing much of anything.
OTM, I used a center punch, 5/32 drill about 1/3-1/2 of the way in, a 1/4" bit to pop the head of the rivet from the stem and a punch to drive the remainder of the rivet through. It sound's much more complicated than it is, but using a slightly smaller bit aids in not messing up the hole with the drill.
As to break dust, I removed my parking brake before riding either of my sleds so I dont have a base to go off. But I go through 2 sets of brake pads a year so I think that's where my dust comes from. Another thing that I have had a problem with is getting ice behide the brake lever causing it to stick on.

Good to know, I'll be doing my rotor tomorrow. I love free weight loss, especially rotating mass.

I got slightly different weights but free is free and it's still half a pound. I'm not sure how accurate my scale is either so I took the lowest before weight and highest after weight (weighed the rotor 3 times ea.) so I know the weight loss is at least 8 oz.
Before: 34 oz.
After: 26 oz.

Hey Guys,
It will be pretty interesting to see if you can notice the difference. Since my MTX will be in parts until the new year, when I get the rotor, I'll test it on the xtx first.
....Of course that assumes snow, but it won't be long now.

One thing, most likely not. You start adding up all kinds of small items and it will though.
I put on 65 miles yesterday and as beez stated it's not enough to notice but I didn't notice and change in performance. My rotor was warped when before so I will either be pulling mine off my MTX if I think it's any better or ordering a new one. I'm sick of pumping my brakes when I go to grab them. But either way I will be drilling the fins off.
I'm surprised your weights are off from mine Caleb. I will weigh mine again and see. I only did one quick weight before and after. I also thought about drilling out the counter balance weight since it's no longer accurate anyways. I had plenty of track speeds in excess of 100 yesterday and did not notice any vibrations.
