1 Brake Disk Runout Thu Oct 03, 2013 4:09 am

I got a RWC/Rego on the blue bike today. This was the first time I've ridden it any distance after pulling it to bits and I notice a plulsing from the front brakes when they are heavily applied. A friend of mine runs the workshop at Springwood Suzuki and he did the Road Worthy Certificate for me. He also noticed it and told me it's runout on the disks. He measured the run out and said it's within spec but half way to being out of spec. I did a lap over Mt Cotton and back up the Freeway and it's manageable but very annoying.
Apart from swapping the disks, is there anyway to remove the run out problem. Both front disks are 4.64mm and the service limit is 4.5mm so there's not a lot of spare meat on them. I searched for this and read a thread where someone used an oil stone on a rear disk to flatten it by running the engine, in gear and grinding the disk with the stone. I'm wondering if that's a can do for the front somehow as well? Obviously I don't want to spend another razoo on this bike
Any ideas?
