[QUOTE="David Trustrum, post: 647249, member: 21529"] Sheesh! Well maybe if you are a Kawasaki parts man. :scream: Ok if the discs are totally totally totally hoady it may be worth replacing them. But I’m talking grooves a couple of mm deep. I mean it’s only the back for heavens sake! & yes I have replaced mine as they were. If they are straight a brush down with some emery is nice. If you have access to a lathe then spin them up on that with some emery on a flat object held up against it. I’ve surprised an experienced machinist with how well that works. Okay first things first. Block the bike up & spin the wheel. Take the calliper off & do it again to check the difference so you have a feel for any other problems & what the drag of the chain is like (you can take the chain off if you like). How much pedal play is there? If misadjusted the master cylinder can’t return fully. Back it off so there is a lot of play as a test. Check the fluid reservoir cap vent is clean. Now I would be tempted to pump the pistons out of the calliper & clean them up + check that there is no crud behind them stopping the pistons going back fully. The pad pins may need replacing. The sliding shafts need greasing with copper hi temp stuff. My calliper was so sloppy it twisted a bit so I bushed on of those pins a bit. [/QUOTE]
