Sorry new to the Buell scene and of course I'm learning. Just putting the front wheel back together and was wondering how much play the front rotor should have?

Should the rotor wiggle a little once everything is tightened down? or should it be solid?
 
It's supposed to have a slight wiggle ... No worries ... Does the bike and/or brake lever have a pulsing sensation/feel when you hit the front brakes?? ... If not, you're good ... Slap that wheel back on and ride it like ya stole it ...
 
Hey Negative, okay I put it all back together and checked for movement. I can push it against the springs and it moves, but no movement side to side.

Yeah I have the pulsing sensation and am wondering how to get rid of it. Reading on here most people say clean the rotor or replace the pads. Also read about replacing the rotor or the mounting hardware with EBR stuff.

These my only options or should I check the mounting just to rule it out?
 
Try cleaning the rotor with some scotch brite.. and the rotor is supposed to move inward toward the wheel against the spring.. makr sure that it springs back..
