GSXR Wheel Swap

[dgyver]

No reason to remove the pins. The resevoir cap does not need to be opened, unless you have too much fluid already in the system.

So I adjusted the wheel and the disc is now in the middle of the caliper.  But I think the brake is till rubbing because the feels didn't spin that easily (maybe 1 and a half turns). 

I think the disc might be warped.  Can you have motorcycle discs resurfaced like car discs? 

[bucks1605]

Don't quote me on this, but I think that's about all mine will do. I can try again Thursday, but I think it was close to a time and a half.

[Whatever6060]

that would make me feel better.

I am still curious if I can have them re-surfaced, though, if anyone knows. 

I would like to replace the pads and was taught that on cars you always re-sureface the exsiting discs when repalcing pads (or replace).

No they can't be.They would be to thin and warp or crack if over heated.You can find good used GS rotors around $20US.The GS rotor is specific to it.None that I know of will fit the GS except 88-97 Katana 600/750.

88-97 Kat rotors are not the same. Doubt
FZR 1000 (87-97-98 whatever) and duc 916/996/998 while are not exactly the same, they fit with minor mods. The other rotors are all smaller diameter.
Cool.

So, if you can't re-surface rotors I would like to put a fresh rotor on (that also fits better after the GSX Wheel swap) when I put on brake rotors. 

Using the rotors that would work from the following link off the GSX swap page of the WIKI:

i found the following rotors on ebay that will fit.

I'm not so sure about them though, as they kinda have a crazy design are pretty inexpensive.

I also found this one:

I know EBC is a good brand, but is it really worth it.

What do you guys think?
