Best to check what they're like when they're properly hot. If they're still loose then they're definitely goosed. That does look like a lot of movement though.

Most discs will move like that a bit when they're cold, but the rivets/buttons are often clenched down axially enough to stop the rattling, given a good shove they'll shift though.

I remembered this thread today. Checked my gixer, Spanks S4 and DaddyJob's pointy, and none of us had any play at all (or hardly noticeable). I'd say knackered mate.
