Was pissed but started thinking, is there differant brake rotor sizes? Is there a slightly smaller one that I can bolt on and save my day?
Yes, there are two different sizes for the 650s - can´t remember which models use the smaller ones off the top of my head, but I´ll look into it.
Edit: Dug around in the archives a bit, according to this thread it looks like your new forks could be off a D model (SR), appearently they use the smaller rotors. There may be other 650s that use them too, maybe someone who has the cross-reference software could check?

I won a couple auctions off e-bay, due to my desire to go to ventilated rotors.
Supposedly the first two rotors came off the same bike. But one of them was bigger than the other. It wouldn't fit the diameter was too big. Mounting holes were the same. But the caliper wouldn't mount.
I ended up having to hunt another ventilated rotor of the correct size, as my stock units were both the same size and smaller than the one I had gotten with the mismatched pair.
The seller swore that the rotors came off the same bike.
So maybe it's a different mounting bracket.
I have two solid rotors in good shape, and the oversized ventilated unit sitting at a machine shop. I was hoping the machinist might attempt resurfacing them for me, but I think that project kind of stalled.
Let me know if any of that might be of help to you.
