    Warped Harley disc

    When moving my T-Sport without the engine runnin I could hear a 'click' from the front end that was wheel-speed related.

    I bit of investigation shows the right disc on my front wheel has some run-out that causes it to drag a bit then come free (that caused the noise).

    Hard to say how much run-out there is but in lay-mans measuring terms it's about the gap between these two letter: iI

    No shuddering under braking, no 'pulsing' of the brake-lever and no other indication of a warped disc.

    How 'serious' is this, is it worth replacing and if so is it urgent?

    I have my own ideas but would welcome 'expert' opinion from experienced brake-knowledgeable people.

    Well, have ever come to the right place, everyone here is an expert.

    My expert opinion.
    Forget about a little run out unless it is disturbing your riding in some way.
