Brake discs, which ones?
My left disc is working loose between the two sections i.e. the braking surface is loose, so I need to replace it. There are obviously a few options but mainly these ones;
1. buy a good secondhand one (good cheep option) 2. Replace them both with some of these, but which ones? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT I need to do it soon though  Any thoughts gratefully accepted. |

Re: Brake discs, which ones?
How much rattle? Little bit isn't worth worrying about IMO

Re: Brake discs, which ones?
Quite a lot now. There is quite a bit of sideways movement. It looks like the circlip type bit on the bobbins on the back of the disc have worn, and a couple are missing. The right one is fine though.

Re: Brake discs, which ones?

Re: Brake discs, which ones?
As mine get advisories at the MOT I decided I wanted to keep the quality of OEM (if anything Suzuki can be quality), but didn't want to spend the money, so bought some second hand ones with nearly full thickness. They're now waiting for the bike to fail its MOT and then I'll swap (motorway commute Reading to Newcastle means the pads will now outlast the bike)
Sadly, but usefully, bikers seem to trash their own bike in order to supply us with cheap spares!
