Yeah the spacers work out to a more customized 4mm which was the absolute minimum I could get without risking the rotors contacting the calipers. I measured with a digital (measurement) caliper and got 3.99mm and 4.00mm respectively. I wanted as much contact as I could get and this was found...

Dude, the relief alone would make up for all that frustration.

Not yet. But its now got me suspicious.

This problem with the wobbling appeared prior to any work on the forks. 6'5" 230lb rider. Suspension: Rebuilt front end, fresh oil and racetech 1kg springs. New bearings on wheel and head. Its been fully disassembled and reset, in the hopes of alleviating the wobble. Preload: 6 open rings...

Alright, a little bit of handyman schmity today. Been busy with work and family, no time to bust out wrenches until today. Got the 14R master cylinder mounted (so now both calipers and master are 14R) and they bite like a hardened pit bull. Insane combination with the steel braided lines. On...

That is true. Not sure if I want to do that route.

Agreed. Comparing rotor wear, everything looks even. Only thing that's cheap to replace is the brake pad spring. My last 2004 didn't have them in, pads would rattle but I don't recall any braking anomalies. Worth grabbing these to see? I have a spare 2012 ZX14R radial master cylinder I'm...

New rim from Kawasaki is about $670++. Not good, but not terrible. Don't see any visible irregularities with the current rim or the mounting of the rotor.

I'm going to give that a try and report back. Guys, thank you for your help and suggestions so far.

That is very much my suspicion at this point.

- Forks removed from triples during service. **Front end has been fully disassembled by myself and a shop. They said it was possibly the rotors. - Service was performed by Grand Valley Powersports (they did a grade A job, problem just wasn't what I requested they fix, as I was conviced it *HAD*...

Hey guys, Been a while since I've posted. Need some communal help in trouble shooting my 2005 ZX10R. I love my Gen1s, owned 2 prior to this and never had this issue before. Here's the issue: Its got what seems like a bent rotor on braking. Wheel up on the front stand sounds causes the pads on...

Still in the plastic. Black, with red and white accents. Size 44. Got a cool thing (things) to trade? Send me an offer (no PM) Otherwise cash (1000 obo), can do credit cards through my company or e-transfer. Whatever helps. Like I said, never worn, except in fitting room at Riders Choice...

Good day fellas, I've got a 2 piece suit for sale. Purchased this summer, anticipated getting back into riding after a few years off but my situation has changed. I'm looking to move the set - 1000.00. Really nice leather suit, beats Joe Rocket quality and fit by miles. Can do cash...
