Should I be able to push the front rotor into the rim with fingers or should the rotor be firmly mounted against the rim? I just got through wiping my bike down and inspecting it before a ride. The rotor moves in 1/8 in. Thanks Mike | ||

yes. it is a floating rotor. a light "buzzing" noise when riding can also be normal | ||

Gemini, Thanks! | ||

1/8 of an inch seems a lot. I've got about 1/32 on my Firebolt and a little more on the 1125 | ||

Keep an eye on those drive bushings -- they wear, too. | ||

the only thing that is going to dictate how much movement the rotor has towards and away from the wheel is the bolt. on an actual measurment, i have .023 inch or .56mm of movment. that is starting with the rotor against the head of the bolt and pushing it to the rim. worn bushings will not increase this. | ||

Correct, but since the rotor floats and the bushings aren't tall enough, the rotor will tend to dig into the bushings and prematurely wear them with the OEM rotor mount setup. If your rotor is shiny silver, might not be much of a big deal, but if you are turning your rotor colors, keep an eye on 'em. | ||
