ok so iride an o6 gixxer 6 and the rivets on my rotors came looses to the point i can move them with my hands,im assuming from wheelies and stoppies??? i got another set recently,rode with em for maybe 10 hours tops maybe 2 of those being stunt time and now these ones are coming loose...wondering what the **** causes this i thought it was a rare occurance???? wtf...

anyone??? thanks

big ben

mine do and so do a lot of peoples its no buggie

i've seen it happen on a few bikes before dunno wut causes it though.....

If by loose do you mean the rotors are 'floating'?

If so, many bikes come factory with floating rotors, and many more bikes can have their factory rotors converted to floating..


Now if the bolts holding it to your rim are coming lose, I'd suggest lock tite and looking up the proper torque specs

im not retarded i know they float but this is like serious ******* floatation its the rivits yes obviously not the bolts why would i ask if the bolts come loose i would just tighten them..imean i am a squid but come on now

Towlieee

If your rotors are floating on the rivets IDK why you'd come here period

I was asking a honest question, if your bolts are coming lose there is a seriuos problem, if your rotors are floating on the rivets, TADA thats called floating rotors





I don't know why its ok, or how its ok.. But people take bikes and PURPOSELY make the rivets move so they can float...

they rattle at idle that is notnormal

Bubash

Ive seen fork oil doing that to rotors from bad seals

sixxxer-fuddy

def not that in my case

Towlieee

from the fzr forum I visited, they said floating rotors made the rotors make a LOT of chattering under breaking and stuff, but supposedly improved braking performance, and allowed peoples rotors to be slightly bent but still not feel anyhting at the bars

Never read anything about rattling at idle

old man roger

i dont know if this is your problem or even if you do have a problem but i have seen calipers that push from one side , this will be easy to check just squeeze the brake and watch the rotor to see if it moves to one side , it shouldnt ..

hanasanaide

they shouldn't be audible, they expand when it's hot, that's it

it sounds like what omr is talking about, the calipers might be tilting the rivets out of place, making them loose, and with 4 different rotors, its definitely not the rotors..

sixxxer-fuddy

how isit not the rotorsifclearly theyare loose

hanasanaide

hah, i know they're loose, if you swapped out rotors and they all do the same thing then something else is causing that, the rotors at one time were good, check the calipers how omr said

poni

+1......one of the caliper pistons could be seized making the opposite side work 2X as hard and causes a push to the rotor from one side only. that can b a creak,squeak or 'ting"-ing noise

i thought if they are loose they are worn..i had about 15k on my last ones and i replaced them,

wheelburns

boo that was gunna be my answer. the only thing that would cause that would be uneven pressure.

wheelburns

15k aint **** . . . . there are people with 50k on stock rotors . . there is no need for them to be replaced unless they are under the min thickness , if they were damaged or if warped . . period

poni

if the rivets are allowing the rotor to shift side/side......i don't have to explain myself, i wouldn't ride the bike till i got a new set of discs....
