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? | ||

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 | ||

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! | ||

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? | ||

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. | ||

That's why they're called Floating rotors. | ||

Buy the wave rotor from Al @ American Sport Bike. You will be amazed by the performance of that rotor. | ||
