Thinken about ordering brake rotor hone for use on the front rotor on the XB. Anyone ever used one before ? Tips/thoughts. Thanks. C. | ||

I used one of these and it worked very well.  The way I used it was to remove the rotor, and put the hone in a drill press. I clamped a few wood blocks to the drill press table to make a simple jig. Then a friend rotated the rotor while I applied a light to medium pressure on the hone. I was able to get it really clean and not put any gouges in it. When I put it back on the bike, I used Lyndall Gold brake pads, and it has all been good since then. Previously I had had some pulsing as a result of deposits left on the rotor by the stock pads. Recommended. | ||

Excellent idea ! I have the Lyndall Golds on the bike now but the pulsing is back and the rotor looks glazed. I have a drill press. Going to order the hone from Al and try the same. Thanks!!! (Message edited by cringblast on January 03, 2009) | ||

Have you tried scotchbrite pads and brake cleaner on the rotor? I have done this when pulsating has happened and it works great. Just don't get the cleaner on the rims!!! | ||
