Just wondering if this is knackered

I've changed them now and put my other forks on with bigger new Tuono disc's on...

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.
