Pulsating front rotors
 
I have a 02 GSXR 600. I hit canyons a hell of alot and get on the brakes quite a bit as well. I have about 13000 miles on my bike and have switched to EBC hh pads. A little bit ago i started feeling a pulsating feeling in the rotors. My question is can I turn my stock rotors? And if I can turn them, do I need new pads again? If I can not turn them I am interested in buying EBC floating rotors. But not sure where the best place to buy them would be. PLEASE HELP.

theyre warped. get new rotors. turning them on alathe will decrease the width due to the decrease in material of the rotor causing it to heat and warp even faster. holla.

That is a good point but now I need to know where I should go to get new ones online. And what is a good rotor to buy. I got a price quote of $400 for floating rotors from EBC. That was from Tememcula Motorsports. Is that a good price?

parts411.com has EBC Pro Lite rotors for $189 ea

and never... EVER EVER even think about turning bike rotors...

A lot of people think rotors are warper when they really have uneven wear.

Do they pulse under hard braking, or under light braking? I'm just curious.

mine pluse on hard braking and slow braking... :(

doesnt really matter at what speed they are pulsating. rotors very rarely ever warp, the first couple hundred miles on new pads and rotors, the pads transfer material from the pads themselves to the rotors, and the pulsation you're feeling is uneven material transfer.... the only way to cure it is to put a set of HH pads on and hope that they will transfer enough to even out the rotor, or have the rotors Blanchard ground, similar to resurfacing a flywheel on a car or truck, but finding a place to do that is hard enough, let alone trying to convince them you're not out of your f*#$ing gourd for trying to get them to do a set of motorcycle rotors.

you can not resurface motorcycle rotors buy new rotors there bent warped what ever if your brake is there and you dont have to pump it to stop you should be fine for a little bit
