Front brake disc rattle

Post by hank »

On the ride home from work last night I noticed one of my front brake discs has started to get noisy and can be moved from side side by hand. I need to replace the wave washers, do I need to order any other parts to cure the rattle?

Both BMW bikes I have, have that rattle.
The disc expands and contracts from hot to cold.
It's just normal on a bike with some miles on it.
I think the bobbins cannot be replaced but come with new discs.
Just ride on...in my humble opinion.
