Warped Rotors

gleno · Mar 19, 2009

Anybody had problems with solid rotors warping :confused2:

I have had to replace two EBC solids from the front (then converted to R1 semi-floating discs) and an EBC solid on the rear - all warped.

This summer I have trashed the new Galfer solid on the rear. Warped again.

The calipers are in very good condition with new seals, buckets, fluids.

Can anybody suggest a suitable semi-floating replacement for the rear that will run with the standard caliper :ummm:

never saw this problem. mine wasn't warped but it had pretty deep groves when i replaced the rear on my '94 last fall. ebc pro lite (with HH pads) worked great for the few miles i rode it before i sold it.

i'd like to do the wave rotor in the back eventually..

Gleno, I have a suggestion for you. PM Jedi, he has made a bracket that goes between the rear caliper and stock bracket that allows you to put a stock front rotor (semi floating) - not very expensive either

I also warped my rear rotor and I am taking this route to upgrade the rotor.

I have a wave rotor on the back and have had no warping issues as yet. Been on there 2 years now and shows very little wear. The only thing I have noted is that if I am really riding aggresive through twisties and for some reason I begin use the back brake alot it will make noise after a while, but that goes away.

Of course the moral of the story is "Brakes are for pussies!!" or "Brakes? We don't need no stinking brakes!!!"
