two front rotor questions

Post by bored808 »

I noticed that these bikes have two piece front rotors. When I hit the brake I can feel the outer part move and make noise. With my hand I can also move it side to side. Does this mean it is worn and needs to be replaced?
Also, does a wave rotor really make a difference?

It is called a floating rotor, I believe. You can read about those. It is normal. Lots of bikes have them, and yes, it does move a touch.
Thank you for participating on kdxrider.net. :bravo:

Yup, KLXs use the same rotor. Some KXs might as well.
