  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Floating Rear Rotor?

The advantage to floating rotors is that they can expand and contract more freely with heat cycles, so they resist warping and the associated pulsing that accompanies the warpage.
 
09 smr510 rear brake problem

ok so today when i got back from my ride, i heard some clanking noise when i was putting the bike away. i found it to be the rear brake rotor. its seems extremely loose? i didn't notice anything out of normal with it, but there is something wrong for sure. i know the brake rotors have a little play but this thing is all over the palce makes noise just moving the bike. any suggestions on what might be wrong?
 
Dang wish i saw this before i posted a thread on the same thing lol. it still seems odd that it moves around so much! the front rotor is a floating rotor and it doesnt make any noise. i guess i need to get a better look at the rotor to see whats up.

no actually i don't wheelie this bike yet it don't trust it yet! and i've never heard of wheeling having anything to do with rotor noise?

It doesn't only the front one:lol:
 
What you describe sounds normal. The 09 SMR comes with a floating rear rotor and they all seem to be loose on the buttons and rattle a bit.
 
The front rotor on the SMR has wave washers installed as part of the button assembly to take up slack/dampen rattles and vibration. Also theres a dab of glue on each of the retaining c-clips for the same reason.
 
Normal.:thumbsup:

Some have modified using "O" rings. But I won't fool around with your brakes. Just get use to the ringing of the Rotor.

:cheers:
