[How To] Install Fully Floating Brake Rotor Buttons 

"a little bit of loctite" *marinates the bolt* :)

How can you mention torque settings without even mentioning what bike it is? Maybe I'm wrong and you did mention it. And you didn't show the drag after you installed the floating buttons.

Hi If the rotor moves back n fort does it mean the rotor is worn and cannot be fixed by replacing buttons?

Thanks a million... well made and explained....you're the best!

where can I get the float button? is there in the marketplace?

Danke für das tolle Video .

Hi, you said these buttons are for ducatis however which ducatis. Need to know the specs so answer will help. My daytona 675 need new buttons since it has a lot of play in front to back motion. Or in general you said thickness of button shall be 4mm for daytona 675 rotors what about diameter of bobbins?

Thank you very much for the great video didn't u say your bike us a Ducati? (anyway i owe Ducati monster 695 and must fix mine disks asap)

can you just use the e-clip without either washer?

No need to apply so much Loctite. Just a thin stripe from head to tip will do. Great video!

I see that I can buy these buttons online, but how will I know if they fit? My Brembo discs are 4.5 mm. But there are no difference in the diameter of the buttons?

where to buy the float button?  where to buy the float button?

Great video.How much free lateral movement has the rotor after the upgrade?

Quick question...what's the thickness of your stock rotor? Thinking of doing those to my CBR 600rr track bike and they are 4.5mm thick.

Ducati has traction on the higher spec bikes the bobbins have raised no holes on right rotor for pick ups 🤔 yours are after market?

Doing the same modification but having trouble finding the additional washers. TPO Parts is no longer around, is that where you got yours?

Hello HTM I got a 2004 GSXR750 the bobbins were seized tight and was having shakes on braking. I tried the bobbin clamping rotating cleaning trick which worked for one short ride around town. Tried again with nothing good. I estimated that the bobbins, which are basically big heavy duty rivets, just needed loosening, expansion wider. So I made a custom wood support for the disc to lay perfectly flat on and used a punch and hammer, striking the rivet tip 3-4 times until I got each one loose. What ends up happening is the washer goes from being tight/flat to slightly dished, freeing the bobbin assembly from the rest. Now they are full floating and rattle like yours. What I wasnt sure of is safety and you seem to have had long term success with your floaters which gives me way more confidence. I will eventually replace the discs within a few weeks or months. Would love to get your thoughts on all this. Btw, I am a veteran mechanical engineer 25 years been turning wrenches for 45 and don't take unnecessary risks which is why I am so keen on your video, thanks for sharing your approach and especially the long term good results your having!

Thanks Bud 👍

E clip size? TQ

Where did you get the extra washers from? What size did you use?

What name this change

If you have that much drag your forks are tweaked. Loosen your triple tree clamps and give it a shake, tighten it all back down.

Maybe I missed it, but what are the actual benefits of doing this? Is this only to reduce drag? I understand that it may reduce pad wear but only to now increase wear on the rotor rivets, so I'm not understanding the 'why' given the trade off. Thanks

What year was your bike was this on a s1000rr I have stock rotor looking to do this

That's cool! Judging from the gold-colored Ohlins forks, is that an Aprilia RSVR?

I think I prefer the factory washer. Warning make sure you use the proper thread locker as you'll mess up your ride if you use high strength or permanent thread locker !

What brand torque wrench are you using.

On a side note the KTM Buttons are smaller than the {maybe Ducati } buttons I ordered so sometimes to play with this stuff you may need a metal lathe . I need to shave ten thou off each button .

Did you get any top speed increase with this mod? J

hello friend I need your help and been looking for these rotors on ebay and not found anything at all you could leave me a link or something to buy them by ebay but eye has to be especially the ebay page please friend help me I will be very grateful!

Please share a link where you bought these buttons🙏 I cant find it for my Kawasaki

Could u show us the brake drag after install?

Have you got an updated link to the buttons you used? The one posted isn't working. Would like to do this to a set for my track bike. Nice work, and great video. Anyone who knows anything about motorcycles knows that full floating is wonderful.

Nice video. Btw, it's newton meters not nano meters. ;)

Anyone try this on the R6 (06-16)? Tried to drill the oem buttons off for the life of me but they wont come out!

My KTM brakes are riveted tight and I got full floaters for them .The service manager is telling m they will wear out much faster .I never heard of this .Any comments ?

Can convert from non floating to floating disc, when use this method???

the washer is for thermal expansion, nothing to do with noise.

Yo no lo veo muy seguro...

I've watched this several times and I still can't wrap my around how these rivets actually keep the rotor together 🤨

where can buy it?

the buttons/bobbins link doesnt work !

There is a reason that main dealers don't sell buttons .And there is a reason that no Haynes manual ever recommends spinning the buttons to cure brake problems.And if you have EBC X series fully floating rotors the buttons have flat sides and can't be turned.And those fully floating rotors have zero play in any direction.In fact EBC explains that the buttons only job is to allow radial expansion of the disc.Nothing to do with alignment.

Where to purchase the Buttons and washers with circlips? Need a trusted source that sells quality Material. Don't dare to purchase off unknown source

Holy freakin loctite lol

why do you wanted more axisl play? it doesnt help at all in break performance, just makes more noise

Did it ever occur to you that engineers who are way smarter than you designed it that way for a reason?

Don't forget to grease the discs themselves so they glide through the caliper, reducing resistance. Now go out and ride really really fast and enjoy that reduced friction.

LOL Nano meters, It's Newton meters! informative vide, thanks

22 NanoMeters haha

Wollte mal sehen wie man die Reibscheiben wechselt, allerdings die Teile ( Befestigungskit, wohl auch "floter" genannt) durch Zubehör mit ein paar lächerlichen Clips zu tauschen halte ich für nicht empfehlenswert. Es hat schon seinen Grund warum die Scheibe eigentlich nicht schwimmend war. Die Wärmeableitung sollte hier stark beeinflusst sein. Teile kaufen und pressen lassen, fertig. Wer sich auf das gezeigte im Video einlässt kann komplette Scheiben von fachkündigen Herstellern auch China ohne Gutachten bestellen, erspart die Arbeitszeit.

Buttons should have a spring in between .

You have put these rattling rotors back on the bike?? You're not for real are you?

And thats how you have a braking failiure and die
