I have a 96 KDX200 with a 97 KX250 fork and wheel. The rotor from the KX was in bad shape. Both (kdx & kx) are floating discs. I was thinking
using the KDX rotor but the holes are differents, so I have to buy a new rotor.
I found this wave model from Braking (KW01FID) :
But it's not a floating one. Does it fit ? At the moment I'll keep the KDX caliper. Do you have other recommendation/brand ? I like these wave shapes.
Thanks.

Front brake rotor question
My 220's floating front disc needed replacing so I opted for a wavy 'solid' rotor ..it was for a Kxf 250 / Kx250 but the holes aligned with that on my hub , the only small mod I did was to drill out the mounting holes on the disc to take the 8mm mounting bolts ( the kxf/kx use 6mm ) i also swapped out the bolts for domed headed stainless Allen bolts ,I used loctite on the bolts just for added saftey ...a year on & ive had no trouble at all except under heavy braking I do get some awful brake squeal ....the disc itself is thicker than the OE disc & whith new pads fitted the piston is as far back as it will go, there's a little bit of brake drag but after a few miles once the pads have bedded in the drag disappeared.
The disc I purchased off eBay for around £30 from a UK company called Race Discs uk

Re: Front brake rotor question
Thanks cornishwrecker220, finally I ordered from Race Discs too. £61,24 for the disc, the bolts and the EBC pads. The Braking disc was too expensive (more than 100€).

Front brake rotor question
I'm running the Tusk wave rotor on my '96 KX hub and it is also a solid rotor. I've had no problems with it being solid compared to the OEM floating rotor.
