Post by: INFIDEL on May 04, 2012, 08:45:59 PM
Anyone got spares lying around you'd like to sell?

Looks like I need to replace all of them front and rear and boy howdy are new ones expensive

Careful, lots of ridersr warp their stock rotors, buy an upgrade, then dump the warped stockers on eBay.

Cure for "apparent" warp.  Sometimes a bike will pulse the lever like crazy making you think the rotor is warped.  It's often dirty button and/or a bad layer of brake material on the rotor.  Clean the buttons and lube them just a tiny bit so the rotor can float properly and then scrub the ever loving crap out of the rotor with brake cleaner and a genuine ScotchBrite green pad to get the old, uneven brake material off the disc.  Then suff up your pads and do a series of 10 hard stops from high speed with cooling between.  This lays down a new, even layer of brake material on the disc and beds in the pads.

I wouldn't believe this would work but my bike shuddered like crazy when I got it, I swore I needed new rotors.  I did this and it was silk smooth.

You can also beat down the button springs and make full floating rotors but that's a more aggressive strategy.
