I am a new Buell owner. The front rotor rattles and is loose. It looks like the rotor can be tightened at the torx screws. Can I tighten these or do I need to replace the rotor?
Thanks!

There was a recall kit with extra spring washers that can help with the rattle. It only worked for me temporarily. Ultimately I replaced the rotor with the factory 2000 model year replacement. There are aftermarket rotors as well. Check out American Sport Bikes, one of our sponsors.

Ocbueller,
Thanks for the reply. I have purchased a replacement, hopefully I will be able to replace it this weekend. This is the first Buell I have ever owned and I love it...will never sit on another Jap bike...ever!

What mdl Buell do you have ? Front rotors are floating type,seem loose and are able to move,or float.
Oops,as soon as I posted noticed mdl in message title.
