• Ciao Guest, The owner of this website and GTMotoCycles.com lost his home completely on the morning of January 8th in the L.A. Wildfire Storm. Most of his neighborhood is gone, and a few friends were killed along with their pets. The GTM SHOP and STORE are functioning normally, but we DEMAND EXTREME PATIENCE on orders as we are a SMALL business and Todd usually has his hands on nearly every order before it goes out. You can find more info on a post named L.A. Wildfires in the USA section. Our heart and best go out to everyone in this horrific disaster.

Just 2000 miles into using my bike, I started hearing an unsettling jingling noise when braking, and upon inspection, I was shocked to find both front rotors were loose. That's the kind of discovery that sends a chill down your spine, considering how critical brakes are for safety.

I thought I could just tighten them up and be done with it, but nope, that was wishful thinking. The situation escalated to needing a full rotor replacement. What a design oversight! You'd think rotors would stay put, not come loose after only 2000 miles of hard braking, leading to such an extensive fix. Now, I'm diving into whether this fiasco can be handled under warranty. Here's hoping the manufacturer takes responsibility for this, because no one should be shelling out extra for what seems like a manufacturing or design issue, especially this early on.

I'll keep you in the loop on how my warranty claim pans out.

here is the small video clip

Its not a "solid rotor' , I wouldnt worry in the slightest.. in fact the time to worry is when to bobbins are ceased ...or at least it was the case on my old sport. theres movement in my v100 , but the brakes work exceptionally so who cares
as Todd said do a search on this website or check out some of the vid's on you tube and just enjoy the ride

Of course its not Solid. But the spec for lateral play is 0,15mm. If you have the disc moving 2 or 3 mm that is something to worry about.
 
For those who want to keep their bike Italian, both below are available. We can get higher end/thicker rotors as well, Contact us via the STORE tab above.
