So I was getting my bike out for a ride yesterday and as it was warming up I heard a rattle which I thought to be my clutch linkage which is still the stock set-up so it rattles a little but after investigating further I found that my front brake rotor was rattling and loose. I realized I had heard it the other day when I was riding but didn't Think too much about it. Still stops fine but just annoys me. Is this a common problem? Do I replace the whole rotor or do I put new bolts and nuts and try to shim the bolts to make them tighten up because I tried to tighten them when I realized that's what it was and they will not tighten any further. ? I apologize early for all the questions. | ||

When the rotor is hot, Don't hold front brake on at traffic lights and it won't buckle. | ||

These are floating rotors the do rattle and make noise. Bedt upgrade is a 9 pin instead of a 6 pin. | ||

Yes, it is a common problem with the old six pin brake rotors. There is no reasonable fix. Either get a later style nine pin or an EBC. | ||

So this isn't necessarily a problem? Mine does the same thing, but I've had it looked at by the "experts" that say it's fine. Guess I'll upgrade to 9. | ||

Correct not a mechanical issue just annoying | ||

Mine has the same issue, just annoying.. but I did order a new EBC MD719RS rotor and pads, bought it from Racecrafters for about $214 for both | ||

If it has bolts holding it to the carrier and not rivets, you can get new wave washers to silence the rattle. |
