Motorworks or Motobins have non OEM bobbin sets.
Axial play is OK, but not radial.

Many thanks is there no way of tightening the bobbins by using a thicker washer for example as bobbin kits are £40 aside which atm I aint got as just lost my job so looking to save cash where possible cheers

Hi Mark welcome to our strange corner. You don't need to be strange to own a K but it helps.
I would be very wary about riding it when the bobbins are in that sort of condition.

Hi Mark,
Welcome to the forum.
I had some play on an R100R front discs,not too much but more that I wanted. I ran a spot of thread lock into the bobbin,disc and carrier,then left it for a couple of days. Wipe off any excess it you've applied too much.
Results? It reduced the play and still works as it should-for now.

It's worth a try.

Mike.

Thanks Mike tbh I was thinking of bolting disc to carrier as not bothered about discs floating don`t know if it can be done ? Just the price for parts is silly 12 bobbins £40 should be about 40p each they rob you blind also need a left mirror glass can`t seem to find a cheap replacement :0(

Try my suggestion first. It's virtually no cost and if it's bolted solid,the disc will more than likely warp with the heat. You could nby half the bobbins and replace just every other one.
It's your choice,good luck with the fix.

I think mine have alittle too much play for the thread lock fix as the right one rattles but thanks for the suggestion Mike Very Happy

I used the stainless bobbins from Motobins. They were a little bit cheaper and worked well.
