Author Message   Kalali Posted on Wednesday, June 17, 2009 - 08:07 am:        I read a lot about folks complaining about excessive play or wobble in the rotor. My rotor has no play whatsoever; radial, axial, etc. Should I be concerned? Just curious. Thanks.   Brinnutz Posted on Wednesday, June 17, 2009 - 09:04 am:        no play is good. play is bad.   Limitedx1 Posted on Wednesday, June 17, 2009 - 09:37 am:        ^^ This statement is also only true about rotors....   46champ Posted on Wednesday, June 17, 2009 - 10:52 am:        Kalali the rotor that gets loose is the original 6 pin rotor not the later 9 pin rotor. Mine wore out and I changed it at about 35,000 miles. They finally get so bad that you can here them rattling at a stop light.   Kalali Posted on Wednesday, June 17, 2009 - 09:39 pm:        I am pretty sure my rotor is stock/original and I have just under 15K miles on my '00 X1. I will leave it alone.   Pkforbes87 Posted on Thursday, June 18, 2009 - 12:55 am:        dunno when the rotors changed off the assembly line (a few changes were put into place mid-2000 model year) but my 2000 X1 came with the newer style rotor. The only problem I have had is heat spots and a pulsing feeling during hard braking. Better pads and a good bleed didn't change anything so I'm leaving it alone as long as it still stops the bike.   14d Posted on Thursday, June 18, 2009 - 01:04 am:        I've got the pulsing as well under moderate to hard braking, but it still stops great. I've heard good pads and a bleed fixes it for some, if not that wave rotor sure is pretty...   Littlebuggles Posted on Thursday, June 18, 2009 - 05:48 am:        Stock rotor seems fine for me. (2000 M2, rotor has approx 20K miles on it). I had pulsing and serious squeel-idge until I put the Lyndal(sp?) gold pads on (I thought I had warped the rotor). Gold pads did well on the track too (20 min sessions) good warm up and no fade noticed from this intermediate level rider. Somewhat better feel and only the occasional squeak from the rotor now.
