julien_d said:"rotor" could mean two things. The flywheel, which is behind the stator cover, or the brake rotor on the wheel. I think neither refers to what you are talking about. If you have it in gear, and the rear wheel is able to rotate slightly forward and back, this is normal. Think of all the components that are in between.
julien_d said:Yes, that's what I assumed.
Remember, the chain has slack, plus there is some small clearance between the transmission gears and also the main gears on the clutch side. So yes, some movement of the back wheel is normal.
julien_d said:I am 100% sure that the kdx does not have a floating rotor. As I mentioned above, the rotor is bolted directly to the hub.
julien_d said:Aha. So your floating rotor is floating, and that is bothersome? I do not know how much it should be able to move. I would not think 1/4" at the outer diameter of the wheel would equate to a very large amount at the rotor.

Ahhh... its good to know that its not just my rotor. Having no specified play limit in the service manual is what had me worried. My assumption was that if there is no play limit, then there should be no play.
I may just go ahead and grab a solid rotor when my cash flow allows. It depends on how comfortable (uncomfortable) i am with the rotor in time.
