Hello All
I've been noticing that when I back out the driveway, and hit the brake, it will CLICK , and then when I move foward and hit the brake it will click again.
The disc does have some slight play in it, i can wiggle it with my hand back and forth slightly and hear the click click.
How can i tighten this or is it a non-issue?
As the disc heats up it needs somewhere to go. The disc retention system of little round spools takes this into account. The disc should have, at most, a small about of play. Maybe 1/32" max. That is normal.
If the play is excessive, it will likely warrant replacement.
You might have a look at the Clymer's manual. I believe they list a service limit. I don't have my manual available otherwise I'd have a look myself.
The bike has 14k miles, so I do believe the play is normal. Seems to be minimal and un-effective in relation to braking.
Thanks.
Floating discs are spring loaded washers that keep it on the little bobbins. Side play is OK.
Cool.
