Today I had a look at the front discs and found out that one of the washers between bobbin and disc deformed and went between the hole and the bobbin locking the disc.

Left: deformed washer, right: normal washer

The torx bolt was tighten to the correct torque (24Nm) and I used loctite 243 when I replaced the bobbins and bolts a couple of months ago. Bike's brembo 1150. Has this happened before? Can't figure out how it can happen...:confused:
 
if the only thing that has happened is that you did something earlier - then you've only got yourself to blame.

it can't happen on its own, can it ?
 
I had something similar (I noticed it after I had been riding over rough ground), but instead of it getting stuck it dissapeard, only the washer, the bolt was still fast. I actually lost a couple, so my disk not only floated, it swam :)

Took it to Oxford BMW, they did say it is not un-common.
