Mxnut494 Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 My front brake rotor appears to be loose. Bolts are tight. Is this thing suppose to be like this? (Video attached) https://youtu.be/r1_dK_JZuS0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Yes it is a floating disc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mxnut494 Posted July 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 It floats alright! My race bikes have floating discs but this seems like a caveman’s version! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you still have doubt, why not just check out someone else's trials bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imexian Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) Fill the bobbins round with sikoflex, like a Cush drive, it’s still allows movement but a lot less! Edited July 23, 2019 by imexian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmk Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Fire up the engine, most times the rattle is more difficult to hear then. If it really is a bother, add a slight bit of front brake as you ride, Yes, my 2005 rattles a bit. Could be wrong, but thought I saw in a parts book, O rings are used to lessen the noise.

Mxnut494 Posted July 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Thanks for the input guys. I don’t notice it or hear it while riding. I was practicing balancing (unsuccessfully, I might add) in the shop last night and felt it. Reminded me of loose steering head bearings. As far as looking at another trials bike, I’m relatively sure I have the only one in the whole county! LOL! i have a parts manual, I’ll look and see if they have anything different than what I’m running. I appreciate you guys taking the time to answer all my dumb questions!

Wufdog Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 I also wondered about this. I thought my headset was clunking but nope just a lot of slop on the front disk. Thanks for asking saved me the trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
