I was going inspection on my scooter. Saw a small crack on disk brake. Looks like it's only crack.
Not sure if I should replace or it's safe to drive. as it doesn't look that bad of a crack.
250cc Scooter.

If we are talking from the hole at the edge of the wear area. They are a side effect of drilled rotors. Replace the rotor. You can reduce the chances of cracking by putting a bevel at the edges of the holes. Is the crack all the way through to the back of the rotor ? It may just be heat checking
 
Its a 250cc scooter, how expensive could a new rotor cost. Is it worth the risk of locking up your brake or loosing the braking ability on that wheel? Looking at the picture, thats a front wheel, def not worth the risk.
