Prior to my recent post about having a warped disc brake my friend has found some in he's garadge and hopefully they will fit... If they fit am i good to go or do i need a specific type of disc for my bike or are they universal?

Usually bike specific, but can be across a range from same manufacturer.

Likelihood, no.

Yes, of course a brake disk off a CG125 is IDENTICAL to your Ninja 600. If your mate can't find some, just drill holes in the right place on a roses tin lid and bolt that on.

On a serious note, if the disks he has are off a G model Ninja, then yeah, use them. If they're off anything else, don't fit them unless you can guarantee they share the part.

Yeah, go for it. Worst case, you can always just put your feet down to stop, it's not like you're on a proper litre bike.

Four things need to match.

ID of the hub
Bolt pattern
Diameter
Off-set

If these all match it'll fit.
