On a GTR1400, I've had an ongoing problem with rotors that give uneven braking - like parts of the rotors grab better than others.
The surfaces appear regular, and while spinning the wheel there is a slight runout to both but not enough to cause them to bind.
I had no problems with the first set of OEM rotors, problem started with EBC iron rotors which started doing this over the first winter. I replaced them with new OEM's and recently they've started to exhibit the same condition.
I suspect that corrosion or dust buildup is preventing rotor and carrier from floating.
I've been able to free up the 'floating' pins on a previous bike which has cured this type of effect, however on both the OEM and EBC rotors I have the pins are not floating and appear to firmly bond the rotor to the carrier.
My questions are -
has anyone experienced the same issue and how did they resolve it?
Are the pins supposed to freely rotate (ie floating) and how can you release them.
Are there any replacement pins for these rotors - along the lines of those in this video
Thanks
