dwdwdw Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hello all I have just got a beta rev3 250cc both the front & rear disks/rotors are loose but the bolts holding the disks to the wheel are very tight. I do not want to overtighten them & strip the threads, any ideas what these bolts should be torqued up to? There is slight movement (1mm) in front & rear disks is this normal? The bolts have washers under them & its almost like the washers are too thin & the bolts are bottoming out. There is no wear on the disks where the pads press on them. regards Clive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coxy Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 thefront is a floating disk brake, the disc is suppose to move a little bit so you have nothing to worry about but im not so sure wether the back brake should be the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwdwdw Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Many thanks for your replies I was wondering if the previous owner had put the bolts back without the correct thickness washers so am relieved to hear they are floating disks regards Clive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
