I have a 07 gsxr 600 and i've noticed that my front rotor is comeing loose from its tabs. i already replaced one but my other one is started to do the same thing. anyone else have an issue with this?

you do know that your front rotors are floating rotor right ?

DeathDealers · 05-31-2008, 05:23 PM

yes, thats what i'm talking about. the circler tabs that connect the brake disc to the rotor are loose. allowing the brake disc to move back and forth

old man roger · 05-31-2008, 05:27 PM

they are designed so the rotor can move , i mean you shouldn't be able to just wiggle the rotor but they are called floating rotors cause they are designed to be able to float

yeah. i know what your saying. but there not suppose to be that loose. seems like the tabs are weak or somthing. i replaced my left rotor and it doesn't wiggle at all. but my right one is now doing it. more trying to figure out why it started doing it in the first place. maybe my forks are slaming into my rotors when i come down to hard.

can you actually wiggle the rotor back and forth with your hand

DeathDealers · 05-31-2008, 05:50 PM

Race rotors are able to move freely about 1/4 of an inch. If you listen to a bike that has them the sound like bells ringin as it rolls.
