In another thread I talked about the front brake that make some noise when I brake. (XB9SX) I checked the brake again and I found that the front disc can be move a little bit even if the bolts are tights. Is it normal? Is the disc is rubber mounted? |

the rotor is a "floating" design, there are springs behind it in the standoffs of the wheel. |

You want that movement at each of the mounts. If you find a spot that doesn't move then you need to replace the hardware and slider right there as the rotor has become bound up and can warp starting in that area. |

So it's probably that floating design that make the noise. Thanks guys! |
