Just making sure u tried slipping it on with the pads removed then sliding them in. Also I did see someone on here grind a little of the caliper away to make it fit too

 

Take the brake pads out like mentioned above and it should fit right on. Install the pads and then work the bracket into place. YZ and WR forks are the same, just valved differently.

 

Thanks for the tips. I'm not in front of the bike but I'll see about removing the pads. Haven't had to do this on any other bike (my Ducati runs 320mm rotors also) but there's always a first.

 

I can't remember how I did it when I had my front tire changed, but I think I found it easiest to remove the rotor and just slide it into place with the caliper inside the wheel.

 

This is how I did mine the 1st time because I as well have never had issues with brake clearance on a sportbike, let alone a dirtbike in the past.

This is the right way, and quite a faster as well. if you pull both pads, the caliper EASILY can be manuvered between the rim and the rotor.

 

Yup pull the pads. When I got my wheels I fought it for a while and was getting super pissed. Then I slowed down some and just looked at everything really close to see where it is hitting.

Also the EBC or Warp9 caliper mount spacer should work just fine. I've run both on my WR400, and both worked the same...Although the Warp9 one fadded after only a couple of rides. I think the heat messed with the anodizing. And I think my wheels are doing the same...

 

I have to remove the pads every time too.

 

I think you need to take the pads out lmao.

 

I didn't realize it was easier to simply pull the pads, myself. I'll be doing it that way next time!

 

Thanks to all. Yup, pull the pads and I got them all fitted. Now after sitting for months it looks like pilot/idle circuit on the carb is gummed up......

 

lol I had to figure this out for the first time, too just recently when installing my rotor kit for the first time on my sumo wheels.

I just had to remove one of the pads to get the wheel/rotor to slide into place in the caliper. Then slid the pad back into place, re-installed the pad bolt and i was done. Couldn't believe how easy it was to do it that way. lol
