Whell bounce under braking. Rotor and Mounts

[Gloomshadow]

I had really bad vibration in my front wheel while under braking, I could have sworn it was a warped rotor. I pulled the rotor and held it to a window pane and it was totally flat. I ditched the stock free-floating rotor mounts and replaced it with a EBR solid rotor mount kit. Wonderful results. All wheel bounce is gone, the brake feel is also much improved. If you think your rotor is warped, get this kit frist before you drop the money on a new rotor.

Good for you, I think I got that simular kit for my race Bike it's an 2009 XB12R Black and Blue with some EBR goodies and the Rev. Performance Engine 1050 Kit w/ chain Conversion.The Racing suspension springs work well for front and the rear as well. EBR has some nice goodies for the Bikes. My 2008 XB12R St.Bike still has the Stock Rotors But as soon as cool weather gets here I may just get me another set of brakes Complete. Glad you like the Front Kit.Don't forget the rear one. Ride Safe. *Jimi[up]

Really good to hear I sometimes get hard vibration from the front as well so I'm going to do this first as well!! Thanks!

just a thought but make sure when replacing the rotor mounts that the rotor is mounted correctly..ie the mounting mark is by the valve stem, if im not mistaken.

yes, that was done.. the mark is facing outwards and at the valve stem.

The bike will have a different gyroscopic feel while braking in the turns but after a few min, you get used to it. Dont worry, the system is safe.
