When installing the ebr front rotor mounting hardware do you still use the stock springs, they are not shown on the diagram? Also when i go to check the flatness of my rotor what is allowed? I am looking into why i had a little uneven pressure or vibration when applying the front brake since i am changing tires anyways. |

The EBR kit does not use springs |

According to Dugger - rim run-out is more likely than rotor run-out. I believe the rotor mounting kit includes a diagram of how to install spacers, washers, etc. (I have to go home and check mine to be sure of that, though). No springs +1 |

Take the rotor off and measure run out of the rotor mounting tabs on the wheel. You will need to do with with the wheel mounted on the bike and the axle torqued to spec. Spec is something like .030, but if you are north of .010 or so you will need to make some adjustments to the mounting hardware you use to allow the rotor more float or you will need to get the wheel machined. |

The concave spring washer.... What direction dose it go on in relation to the bolt head... The directions seem to indicate that the center of the concave washer will touch the back side of the bolt head and the outer edge of the washer will touch the steel washer on the rotor side, that seem the oppisite of how I would think to run it. The directions are hard to read thou. |

You are correct. Center touches bolt, edge touches rotor. You aren't putting the screw head in a bowl, you're using the washer as a spring of sorts. Have they changed the instruction sheet? The one that came with my kit was crystal clear as far as what to do, what parts to discard, and which way to install everything... |

So it goes on like the one on the left? (Message edited by xtreme6669 on December 01, 2011) |

Correct, though in testing all kinds of ways to mount these rotors, I've found it to not really matter. Once you have a couple of really hot heat cycles on the hardware they disc washers pictured above anneal and the rotor is basically loose to rattle. |

And a video of killing off the old tire: http://s62.photobucket.com/albums/h94/xtreme6669/B UELL%201125CR/new%20brakes%20and%20a%20burn%20out/ ?action=view¤t=burnout006.mp4 http://s62.photobucket.com/albums/h94/xtreme6669/B UELL%201125CR/new%20brakes%20and%20a%20burn%20out/ ?action=view¤t=burnout004-1.mp4 |

Gents, I believe that the instructions read to place the concave side of the washer toward the head of the bolt. So the correct mounting in the picture from Extreme is the bolt on the right. |
