Cleaned my Bobbins

[ELIMINATOR]

Recent MOT it was mentioned that there's a slight flutter on the front discs / disc.
Sprayed them with isopropanl and tapped the bobbins and disc, sprayed again to wash any loosened debris out. Did this yesterday , did it again just now.
A noticeable improvement!
Previously when spinning the front wheel I could hear an intermittent noise where the pads were touching the disc. The wheel wouldn't carry on spinning far.
Now there is no contact and the wheel spins freely.
When tugging the discs outwards ( away from the bike) I can see the wavy washers ( for want of better words) compressing and the disc moving.
The discs never got hot in use, unlike when a caliper started to sieze, so it was quite subtle.
OK, admit it.
You've just gone out and checked yours

I did check the Guzzi, they were all freely moving.

I had an MOT failure of DISC FLUCTUATION and they wanted some ridiculous prices at two different workshops; one even recommending new discs..

I took a punt at similar to what you did, a thorough clean and new wavy washers and at least achieved a pass with an advisory saving me a small fortune ..

MOT places are shite.

I put ACF50 on my bike and a few week later took it for its MOT.
They put an advisory on the misting fork seals.

Took it to BMW for them to check it and they said nothing wrong with them, i explained the ACF50 and they said its a common mistake MOT places make!

Not a lot, when I wiped the discs off, the tissue was dirty. But, most of it probably dropped onto the wheel /tyre

My ST11 had fork seals mentioned this year and the forks were dry with no oil lines or smears... I just took it that the 20 something tester may hardly see an older well used bike at all...!
