125-200cc Bent front brake rotor

Was doing some enduro cross on 2008 cr165 yesterday which was fun but while loading bike notice something was dragging which I thought was front wheel bearings but after closer inspection and taking front brake rotor off tire rotates fine and can see brake rotor is bent a little. My question is can the brake rotor be flatten straight again at machine shop or is it better to just buy a new. Thanks for any help.

I have straightened a fair few, I leave them on the bike and use a large adjustable spanner (wrench to you lot) If you take it off and try it never seems to end up true, Well not for me anyhows LOL

I also was able to bend mine back with an adjustable wrench aka Crescent wrench. I can't even tell it was bent.

I agree with the above, never be perfect but less noticeable on the dirt.

It really bad in that there is more than one bend so I will just buy a new one. I am planning on selling bike after this season is done and was trying to chaep out but like most things it better to fix it right I guess.

Gotta agree with the pulse feeling, because you just can not true them.

I did try to bend it back and did get wheel to rotate about 3 -4 turns with one big push but still rubbing a little. Might jut try it again even though I have a new one comming. That endurocross stuff is hard on bike parts but fun.

AS long as you can afford it!

Maybe you should consider a bullet proof rotor guard that Motosportz sells they look dynamite.

Are the rear guards for a CR125 back in stock yet?

you can get it fairly right with a adjustable spanner yet to make it perfect you have to give it a go with a lathe machine.
The problem is if the disk is already a fair bit in its life or not straight enough you end up with a disk that is true but to thin to be considered safe.

personally I did this only one time and it works perfectly for me at that time.
