99-2002 Front Brake Rotor

Hello from Idaho, USA.
I believe the EBC MD929D, front brake rotor for the 99-2002, Suzuki Burgman 250/400, will fit my Chinese motorcycle. However, I need to verify the diameter of the circle which contains the bolt hole centers. If anyone has a set of calipers, he can measure the distance between the centers of two, opposite bolt holes without removing the front wheel. If someone can make this measurement, I would truly appreciate receiving this information. Thank you.

Hello from Shropshire UK
As well as the pitch circle diameter of the fixings you will also need the diameter of the mounting boss, the rotor outside diameter & the flange offset (if there is one), might be easier for you to send an email direct to EBC who will have all the information needed readily available to them

Thank you for the kind welcome from Shropshire, and thank you for the helpful reply.
I have confirmed the outside diameter of the brake rotor and the inside diameter of the mounting flange. I have contacted EBC USA, but they could not provide me with the information I seek.

I have also posted my question on the BurgmanUSA forum, but the Suzuki Burgman was not exported to the USA until after 2002.
I will now contact the EBC headquarters in the United Kingdom as well. Sometimes large companies are slow to reply, or will not reply at all to such inquiries. Therefore, I am hoping someone who owns a 99-2002 Suzuki Burgman will make the measurement for me.

Thanks for the gracious welcome.
I own a 2015 Zongshen RX3, which was sold in the United Kingdom as the Honley Venturer 250. However, I no longer see the bike listed on the Honley website. Here is a recent photograph of my motorcycle, which was taken in Grand Teton National Park.

Belated welcome spudrider,
As already stated great backdrop to your photos.
As for the honley a number of UK firms do a short journey into own brand "Chinese bikes" but the UK market is still to up its arse crotch rocket riders.
Also the competition next year might hot up in the quarter litre sector (can't add photo but Suzuki bringing in a 250cc mini Strom)

Thanks for the kind welcome.
Yes, I have heard of the mini Strom, and I eagerly await the arrival of more competition in the 250cc, adventure bike category. I have also heard rumors of a 250cc version of the Kawasaki Versys.
The Zongshen RX3 is my second Zongshen motorcycle. I have ridden 75,000 miles (121,000 kilometers) on my Zongshen ZS200GY-2 bike, and I have ridden 21,000 miles (34,000 kilometers) on my Zongshen RX3. I also own a Honda, CRF250X dirt bike, and a Honda, XR650L, dual sport motorcycle.
