While I had my '09 Street Glide on the rack to change the oil, I spun the front wheel and noticed a slight drag on the rotors in one spot. I have a metal lathe, so I mounted the rotors, and measured the runout - .006 on the right one and .002 on the left one. Stock rotors are double disk ground hot rolled steel plate (I was a tool&die maker for 40 years). I mention this because rotors are easily deformed. They should be removed during a tire change to prevent being bent.
Careful tweaking reduced the .006 to .002, not perfect, but better. I'm pretty sure I can use them like this without too much additional wear on the pads, but I'm wondering if anyone knows what the runout tolreance is?:bigsmiley28:
