I have The dual Brembo setup on my S1. It rattles at idle and when I launch it. Most likely from no weight on the front end. The rotors have little wear and I don't see it necessary to buy $700 worth of rotors because of this.

I have received mixed reviews on how to fix this...

any one have experience with these rotors?
I dont have any pictures of my bike on this computer so heres the link to my bike from the previous owner.

Any "race use" rotors I have used have done so. As long as they aren't chattering when braking hard it is not a problem in the slightest.

The only rattle-free rotors I have used are OEM.

Agreed. Rattling is a common side effect of a true full floater. You can always replace the wave washers, but the rattle will return.

Okay so there is no concern that there is a fair amount of play up down and side to side? Bike stops on a dime and no brake issues what so ever. I can live with the rattle. I just want to be safe.

I have a Braking Wave rotor that does not rattle at all. I believe that it is considered as full floating.
