Anyone got spares lying around you'd like to sell?

Looks like I need to replace all of them front and rear and boy howdy are new ones expensive

Warped or just worn?

Scott

Worn.

I got no tricks to fix that :(

eBays!!!

Careful, lots of ridersr warp their stock rotors, buy an upgrade, then dump the warped stockers on eBay.

Didn't you kind of imply below that you had a cure for warped?  [bow_down]

I just dropped 550 on galfers.  I should have them installed this week..  Ill have Duck Stew take a look at my 320's when they come off..

Cure for "apparent" warp.  Sometimes a bike will pulse the lever like crazy making you think the rotor is warped.  It's often dirty button and/or a bad layer of brake material on the rotor.  Clean the buttons and lube them just a tiny bit so the rotor can float properly and then scrub the ever loving crap out of the rotor with brake cleaner and a genuine ScotchBrite green pad to get the old, uneven brake material off the disc.  Then suff up your pads and do a series of 10 hard stops from high speed with cooling between.  This lays down a new, even layer of brake material on the disc and beds in the pads.

I wouldn't believe this would work but my bike shuddered like crazy when I got it, I swore I needed new rotors.  I did this and it was silk smooth.

You can also beat down the button springs and make full floating rotors but that's a more aggressive strategy.

Sweet.  Thanks.
