Author Message   Snp304 Posted on Monday, September 06, 2010 - 04:46 pm:        I'm tired of the noise, do not have the extra dough to drop on a new rotor. Attempted a search to find the info (btw, I hate the search function here...my $.02) Anyone have the info for the wave washers and whatever else I may need to stop the noise. I know it is not a permanent fix.... Thanks in advance..... Mike   Buellistic Posted on Monday, September 06, 2010 - 06:49 pm:        "i" put a bunch of WASHERS, PN BA148.9SS(old H-D/BUELL PN was 6201Y} until there was no rotor movement ... Fixed my OEM rotor that way, which lasted until a H-D technician bent it ... Did the replacement and it is still tight ...   Ratbuell Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2010 - 12:39 am:        I don't have the part number handy, sorry...but the wave washer replacement fixed the rattle on my S2. I just added new wave washers to each rotor mount bolt, and the rattle was fixed! IIRC, you need to look them up for a 98; the 95 book I have for the S2 has the original style rotor in it, not the later wave-washer style.   Snp304 Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2010 - 12:15 pm:        guess I need to get a torch, need to heat up the allen head bolts, can't get them to break free   Hootowl Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2010 - 04:35 pm:        I had to drill mine out. Some folks have had luck hitting the bolts with a brass punch to free them up. Didn't work for me.   Snp304 Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2010 - 05:41 pm:        yeah, heat is not working for me, what exactly did you do Hootowl? I got some replacement parts, figured I would just replace all the hardware, but I can't even get them apart.   Natexlh1000 Posted on Thursday, September 09, 2010 - 05:19 am:        In theory, those rotor bolts are to be used once and then replaced. I found this out after I reused mine probably 6 times The new ones come with a dot of locktite already on them.   Ratbuell Posted on Thursday, September 09, 2010 - 08:30 am:        Put a SMALL spray of a good penetrant (I use BG's EnForce) on the nut end of each one of the bolts. Let them soak overnight. Go for a HARD ride the next day and get the brakes good and hot (be careful - remember you sprayed oil on there, even though it was only a little bit). Before the rotor cools too much, take it apart. I know with my BG stuff, it would. I've had bolts come free without a breaker bar on a 1972 Plymouth lower control arm after soaking in that stuff overnight.
