ebc 320 mm rotor conversion problem

[kl650a@verizon.net]

The rotor is not spinning true. If you have a dial indicator check it and you will see it. Whether or not you have a dial indicator (just makes the job easier and only needed if you cannot correct the problem with the first couple solutions) the problem most likely is with the mounting. Remove the rotor and make sure there is not any grit or burrs between the rotor and hub. If the problem persists you may be able to improve it by mounting the rotor in a different position in relation to the hub. If you check the hub and it has no run out yet the problem persists than the rotor is most likely warped. If the rotor was designed to float it should correct minor misalignment. Don't know if this rotor is supposed to float or not. Walt

Initially, I was very underwhelmed at the braking power - virtually no improvement over stock & maybe a little less. But I perservered assuming things would improve w/ miles and they did. Lots of stopping power now if you need it. But, as you are coming to stop the last few feet w/ light lever force, there's a very annoying pulse of sorts. You don't feel it in the lever, but it acts like you're squeezing the lever on and off which makes for jerky stops. I examined both sides of the rotor and can see nothing out of the ordinary, the entire surface looks the same. I've cleaned the rotor w/ denatured alcohol and really didn't get anything on the cloth nor did it improve thingd. I've not put a dial indicator on it, but I would think lateral run-out would be leaving some marks on the surface. Is the rotor supposed to float? Mine doesn't budge when I push on it. Any siggestions would be appreciated.
