Abstract
A motorcycle that includes a frame, a wheel mounted to the frame for rotation about an axis of rotation, a rotor mounted to the wheel, and a caliper selectively clamping the rotor to slow down the rotation of the wheel. The rotor includes a slot having flat sides that are non-parallel with respect to each other. The assembly further comprises a spacer positioned within the slot and having flat sides substantially parallel to said sides of the slot such that the flat sides of the spacer maintain contact with the flat sides of the slot during thermal expansion of the rotor. A spring is preferably provided between the rotor and the wheel and is offset from a fastener. The spring biases the rotor against the head of the fastener.
