[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1464633, member: 19880"] How many people clean their floating rotor bobbins? I never have and no issues with brakes. Never replaced a rotor or had unusually fast brake pad wear. 450,000 km on two Gen II FJRs... Edit: Not saying it is a bad idea, just that I never felt the need. I looked through the service manual (electronic version) at every instance of "brake disc" and found no reference to cleaning bobbins or buttons or rivets or any other brake disc maintenance other than removing oils. Trouble shooting consisted of measuring runout and rotor thickness. I have read about cleaning floating rotors on many forums but have not seen it recommended by Yamaha or other manufacturers...
