Title: Front disc issues!
Post by: snowy on June 01, 2015, 02:43:40 PM
Not relating to the GTR, but  a classic GTR issue.
My other bike, cheep n cheerful - 1993 GSX750F, suffering break imbalance / wobble on the front.
Not sure of which disc, so set about cleaning / freeing bobbins just in case that was the issue, as mentioned for the GTR.
All freed up, lubed with a drop of GT85 (very carefully I may add!)one is very free (nay loose), test ride after still suffering the pulsing indicative of a warped disc.
Is there any repair / regrind of floating discs that exist?
Trouble is a new pair of discs is gonna cost nearly £300 for the pair......on a bike that's worth £500-600  :no:
Any ideas or spare GSX600F / 750f front wheels out there?

Worth checking your wheel bearings are ok first then invest in something like
