[QUOTE="EURWAY, post: 925082, member: 37291"] [b]Braking wave rotor danger possible dangerous situation[/b] I have an '03 CRF450 that I installed the oversized Braking wave rotor on about 2 years ago. Two days ago as I was pulling my bike off the trailer to start practice my front wheel locked as I pushed it towards the bike stand. I think everyone here knows what could have happened if the wheel had locked while on a crowded track! The problem is with the Braking bracket which relocates the caliper to accommodate the oversize rotor. The bracket has a ridge of aluminum that holds the brake pads in place. My bracket was worn completely through on the side that is opposite the caliper pistons. The piston side was also worn quite badly, but not completely through the aluminum. Once the aluminum was worn through, the pad fell through the gap created and swung down on the caliper pin. The pad then lodged in a cut-out on the rotor and locked the wheel. Everyone with a Braking oversize wave rotor installed on his/her bike shold inspect the relocation bracket at once. I do not know if this is a singular incident or not, but let's not be careless; your health is worth it! I have spoken to Braking about this problem, and will be sending images of the worn bracket to them today. I will try to get the images posted here so you can see what to look for if you have the Braking rotor. [/QUOTE]
