A mate has had his K1100 rejected for a wof because the guy doing the inspection has said one floating disc has too much movement. The mechanic doesn't appear to have too much knowledge of bikes. The other disc was overhauled for the last wof. Both have no more free play than what has always been there.

Does each bike with floating disc's have its own tolerances? Would the inspecting mechanic have to have access to the particular bikes specs?

This is a bit of a grey area. Do you mean front to back (bad) or side to side? Perhaps sling past F1 engineering & see what he thinks. Does new buttons to fix this sort of problem, or at least used to.

I get around 1mm side to side play and maybe 2mm up down. Doesn't sound like much but it's (comparatively) heaps when you move them.

Has been getting warrants fine, and stops great (better than before they were modified).
