Great video, had to slow down few places but it was worth watching and appreciate those few good tips. My ST1300 brake rotor is totally warped I can see it moving left right, it happened after somebody knocked it down in my parking place, lifted it up and moved it back with front chain jamming between the rotor and wheel. thank you

Thanks for the video but it think the title is a bit misleading because you did not "fix" the rotor, you "replace"d the rotor. A huge difference bro...
Thanks but....OMG what would we do without the Nazi title police????? UA-cam limits titles to 100 letters BRA...Picking a title to best fit most common "talk" is tricky BRA...You got the point the fixing the warped rotor was to fix the "problem" right BRA? LMAO
Shane Conley I see your point but i have a slightly warped rotor i wanted to fix because it is a shitload of money in Turkey, a real big ass shitload that is almost close to a minimum wage or even more, so you can see the frustration i had :) Nothing nazi about that...
The point is this. You can not fix a rotor...motorcycle rotor that is. There are so thin to begin with. Can you chuck in in a lathe and turn it? Yes, of course, you can mechanically, BUT it will not have the material left to prevent warping right away due to the thin material now. Let alone the unknown stopping or rate of wear as it is thin and not able to dissipate the heat as originally designed. Hope this helps.
My rotor has much more than min thickness but i thonk it is like one third of a milimeter bent i will use a dial indicator and let you know the results. Depending on the warp, yes they can be repaired, sometimes. Not all the time
good video and only thing I would add is to check brake rotor minimum thickness. my yamaha royal star service manual gives that spec along with allowable runout.
True that...Did I not mention in this video that the minimum thickness is stamped on DOT rotors from the factory? Oppppps.... 👍 Thank you for taking the time to comment!

@@How2Wrench Thanks. I skipped thru the video and went to the parts that pertained to what I was looking for. My Bad. Checking your website. Keep up the great work!
Hi, can you tell what effects does the rider feel, when the disc is warped? On my bike, I find the lever pulsating on the mildest of bumps/undulations, if I apply any amount of braking.
How do I know/measure wether it's just the rotor or the wheel itself? A wheel that isn't perfectly true could still be within spec, but would it effect the break disc runout? Truing my wheel is way less expensive than new break discs (but not if I have to do both😂)
Another item that should be checked on rotors is thickness variation. Runout like you show in the video is bad, but runout of a few thou (anything under the pad retraction) is less critical than thickness variation. As little as .0005" thickness variation causes braking shudder and will result in braking action ranging from annoying to terrifying---especially on a sportbike. It is a great tip about checking the hub. In working with rotor manufacturers this was always an issue. We could grind perfect rotors with under .0002" TIR and thickness variation and they would get bolted onto .003" TIR wheel hubs with tool bruises on them. This was not a recipe for success.
I know its a bit late but can thickness variation be fixed by applying the brakes ever so slightly as I drive along? My bike's got semi floating rotors and the calipers are floating too.
Believing that my disc brake rotor might be warped, I've just stumbled across this gem of a video. Could someone on here tell me what that measuring tool is called 👍
What I did on my Harley was determine what are of the rotor passes freely through the caliper, mark that area then with either a runout, or dial indicator fix the gauge to the good area then with a large adjustable wrench make slight in or out adjustments to match the good area. Use the area that passes through the caliper freely as a reference as to where you want the rest of the rotor. Hope this makes sense. After all the end result we want is not to rub through the caliper.
Above is meant to say “what area”. The adjustable wrench is sized to the thickness of the rotor, slid over the rotor and used to slightly bend in or out the rotor.
I bought a boom off of safety warehouse in California and I have nothing but the shakes with it on the axle is not lined up right is not the right one when I get on it if I feel like it's just going to snap in half it's very dangerous I paid $1,400 for it I don't know what to do
I do not know. I don't have access to that information. I watch "EBC how brake are made" and you will find this is a specialized process for best braking and long life.
Thank you very much for your interest I am very thankful but I am from Egypt and I can not find this cylinder I have a fairly old motocycle (Honda bros) and I do not find this cylinder here

How to fix ,, you put a new one on !!
That how I fixed mine !!

Good video. Can you tell me who makes the truing/balancing stand you are using? Thanks.
Hi Shane, very good video. I wanna checkout the runout of my bike rotor. Can you please let me know about the dial indicator you used. Thanks..

It's a dial indicator. I just picked up a cheap one on Amazon for about $30. A high end one can run into the hundreds
What I did on my Harley was determine what are of the rotor passes freely through the caliper, mark that area then with either a runout, or dial indicator fix the gauge to the good area then with a large adjustable wrench make slight in or out adjustments to match the good area. Use the area that passes through the caliper freely as a reference as to where you want the rest of the rotor. Hope this makes sense.

hi Shane Conley What is the type or the rough made by the disc brake rotor
Bascoota Wael
I don't understand what your asking friend.
Hi Chen Kunley What is the type of raw or iron which is made of rotor brake or disc.
I do not know. I don't have access to that information. I watch "EBC how brake are made" and you will find this is a specialized process for best braking and long life.
Here is the link that may help. ua-cam.com/video/nXVh9v-9kAk/v-deo.html
Thank you very much for your interest
I am very thankful but I am from Egypt and I can not find this cylinder
I have a fairly old motocycle (Honda bros) and I do not find this cylinder here
what is the name of that tool?

The point is, you do NOT repair motorcycle rotors. You replace them. But YOLO it's your life.
please reply soon
where is the how to fix? replacing is not fixing :(
