Hey guys. I've looked around everywhere. Is there anywhere I can find good front rotors for an F4 at a decent price? I can't seem to find anything on eBay. And the only aftermarket ones I could find were $180 a piece ($360 a set). Kind of pricey... anyone knows a good place? Thanks!

Another question. I took my bike to a shop to get my front brakes bled and to examine the rubbing sound coming from the front. They told me that it's my bent rotors and that I have to replace them before bleeding the brakes. They told me that it would make no difference if they bled the brakes, because I would still have to pump my brakes to get them to work. Is that true??
I did spend about an hour bleeding the brakes by myself, with no luck. So, I'm thinking they are correct... but maybe they just want to get more money?? Any help would be appreciated. I'm not very good when it comes to dealing with brake systems :/

Mine are warped pretty bad to. I think they ment it as it would not do anygood as far as helping you brake because the rotors being warped. As far as finding some rotors for sale best place is the parts section. I have been looking since march. NO luck!

whats up guys. i just had the same problem cause one of my rotors is slightly bent. i checked ebay but all they had was f4i rotors, i heard you have to have the f4i wheels in order for them to fit on 99-00 f4. i just purchased a f4 rotor from www.cycletherapy.com for 110.00. it came yesterday and it was in good shape. thats better then paying over $260 for a new oem one. check them out

No the guy (he''s been there forever) specifically said that if I just want new fluid in there, then he would do it but I would still have to pump my brake in order to stop.

But thanks for the help anyways. I''ll have to just look around then.
