Runout spec is usually 0.2mm, if it's more than that there's no ignoring it.
That being said - is it definitely that? If the square seals are lower quality, the groove still has corrosion in it, or etc , then it could be the pistons are being pulled back in by other means.
Can also be that when ...

Calipers rebuilt, they work well but even riding to the end of the road the lever was coming back to the bars, pump it a few times and it goes hard, the warped disc is pushing the piston too far back.

I've found two for £50 but I've also possibly got the chance of getting a 1998ish fireblade.

Yesterday morning as I've been off work I hadn't used the bike for ova week.

I've found the bars a bit low, probably too many bikes and getting on a bit
I fitted 20mm risers yesterday, I also swapped the winter neck warmer thing for a much lighter silky type one, I found the winter one was bunching up behind my helmet so to look forward I had the force my head back, the ...

The story is that rolls Royce contacted a wool processing plant and wanted to buy all of the oils surplus after the wool had been processed, they then used it to rust proof their cars.
I've got ac2001 mk4 golf, I've been thinking of tarting it up a bit , I'd use this as it's thinner than waxoil and ...

So I've done about 60 miles commuting on it, much better for my needs, no slower than the zzr11 and much quicker round corners, it wants to turn the zzr11 didn't.
Just need to get used to the lower bars and set the suspension up a bit better

So I bought some fuel proof sealant that I used on the tank and tap interface and some fuel proof jewels that I fixed the tap with.
So you don't have to reread stuff, the original tap is no longer available, I broke mine doing it up to tight.
I bought a new pattern cbr900(97-98) tap and removed the ...

Bloody thing was leaking again, I've ordered some fuel proof sealant
I've also ordered another tank from eBay, this one looks like the caps been forced open at least

£40 posted for the pb massive.

They were for my zzr11 but will fit all of that and earlier eras kawsakis and other bikes

Tap fitted the other day, no leak.

Today I removed the vacuum bit of the tap as it didn't like flowing even on reserve, appears to be working now..... fingers crossed

The new fuel tap arrived yesterday and as it was dark and I have to work outside I fitted it, bit of a pain, I think the initial threads got damaged.

Checked this morning and no fuel leak, needs adjusting tomorrow as it's a bit bigger than the std one which isn't vacuum.
