Author Message   Barrick09 Posted on Saturday, September 10, 2011 - 03:03 pm:        should there be play in the front rotor? The bolts seem tight but they don't hold the rotor snug from not moving at all, it has some play left to right but not front to back. Is this right? Should I change the bolts? Or is the rotor bad?   Buellistic Posted on Saturday, September 10, 2011 - 03:32 pm:        Barrick09: Brakes/Rotor Class 101, just PM me for your copy ...   Greg_cifu Posted on Saturday, September 10, 2011 - 04:45 pm:        What's moving, the rotor or the carrier? The rotor is supposed to move, the carrier is not. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/574720.html?1278719360   Two_seasons Posted on Saturday, September 10, 2011 - 10:55 pm:        Unless you have the 2000 or newer rotor, they rattle. Other than the noise and low speed sound of your bike falling apart, especially when coming up to a stop, get used to it. Unless...you want to spend $$$ to replace. It's a great stopping rotor, albeit noisy! By the way, AL at American Sport Bike sells the newer version and the service manual which gives you the torque specs. And something else, don't reuse brake hardware. Not a good practice. Buy new!   Littlebuggles Posted on Saturday, September 10, 2011 - 11:07 pm:        I thought I read here (KV, some time back) you could just add a wave washer to each mounting point on the old style rotor to reduce the play, and the rattle?   Barrick09 Posted on Sunday, September 11, 2011 - 12:03 am:        thanks greg, that's exactly what's happening. The rotor is moving but not the carrier, I'm new to buells I have cbr 600 and rotor are not like that just just thought I'd check.   Kalali Posted on Sunday, September 11, 2011 - 08:50 am:        That's why they're called Floating rotors.   Preybird1 Posted on Monday, September 12, 2011 - 11:24 am:        Buy the wave rotor from Al @ American Sport Bike. You will be amazed by the performance of that rotor.   Buellistic Posted on Monday, September 12, 2011 - 02:02 pm:        "i" PRODUCT IMPROVED my 1997 OEM floating rotor to non-floating and it works just fine !!!
