Brake Disk Straightening - SV650.org

TSM · 05-06-06, 11:00 AM

I need my EBC Prolites straightened as it seems to show a buzz in the feal when braking at speeds around 50mpg. Nothing major, does not make my bike wobble and when hard braking it does not happen.

Now the problem is that Motoliners will not straighten them as they have not had much sucess in straightening them. So it seems i am stuck, is there anyone else that may be able to do them or should i just live with the problem as its not major?

Not to say you're wrong, but the prolites felt slightly vibey to me too under lighter braking- they're rough compared to typical discs, so could it just be that?

the buzz can happen if you have ebc pads too..mine did it on a zzr (spec with the HH pads). if they are warped you would get a pulsing from the lever, which is VERY noticable
