I thought Z1000 onwards did away with the woodruff key, but increased the torque setting (and size?)on the fixing bolt to try and stop the thing spinning off. :??

Z1 - 900 and first 1000A = 8mm rotor bolt and woodruff key.
Later 1000 went to 10mm rotor bolt and no woodruff key but same taper.
MK2 1000 went to 12mm bolt and larger dia crank taper.

ya, agood clean cut one with no damage, the rotor is very scored though, looks like it was just bolted on as tight as poss and the bolt lock tighted.
dont fancy putting it back on like that again though :oops:
does the keyway run the full lenghth of the taper or start halfway down ?

Pretty sure my MKII has a woodfuff key.

Does that fit in with the theory?
