I have a nasty habit of pulling things to bits in a hell of a hurry and finding out later that there is a "trick" for doing it properly. :Oops:
I pulled the wheels off my '87 FZR750 to have them powder-coated (yes, I read the thread on how that buggers the heat treatment, too late now!!) and obviously had to remove the brake rotors. I cleaned up the surfaces the rotors bolt on after getting them back and turned the rotors against them to make sure there were no bumps etc.
Now I find the front brakes shudder quite badly when braking from >100km/h. Is there a good way to check (and fix) the rotor alignment? What are the limits for run-out? I have heard stories about pieces of paper behind rotors to line them up, but that sound pretty dodgy.
Any kind words of wisdom appreciated!
