on the front brake rotor how much movement is considered normal? when breaks applied and watching/feeling for the rotor against drive bushings | ||

Some lateral (side-to-side) is normal, radial movement is not. If you hold the brake and rock the bike back and forth, there shouldn't be any movement. Someone just recently posted pics of wear or damage to look for. | ||

that's what i thought lateral normal to a point radial not so much.... have a good bit of radial slop. EBARRGGH here i come....turns out the local dealer wants $58 for the OE pieces and i can get the upgraded bits from Erik for a little less shipped. | ||

Likely that the rotor itself will need replacement, be sure to check that before ordering. Yes the mounting hardware does wear down, but so does the mounting points on the rotor. Most times when I've seen issues, they are both needing replaced. | ||

yeah i seem to recall that part too.... 6mm here i come. may as wells start adding up here... may as well rebuild caliper amy as well replace pads may as well upgrade lever... next thing you know i am dumping another 400+ | ||

The 6mm isn't necessarily better. It weighs more and handles heat better, but the drive bushings are still 5mm, and in fact, the 6mm is milled to 5mm at the mount point. It's cheaper, though. | ||

"It's cheaper" being the operative info |
