Default Wow!!!! Front brake rotor

So I put on new brake pads on the front today and went for a test ride and wow the bike stops now with use of the front brakes. Before the pads was down to metal from the previous owner, So I was only using rear brake and allot of down shifting. But back to the main point As I was stoping I had a really bad stopping motion like if the bike was stutering. Yeah my front rotors are worpped beond worppage

How the F does someone let it get that bad WOW. Now I need to get new rotors or used ones in good conditon.

Anyone got spare parts lol. Dam I want to kick this guys *** who owend it befor me. But it happens when you buy a 10 year old bike. Dam sucks for me. At least the bike runs good, **** I guess for 1500 bucks this is what you get.

Very dangeruos. A winter project when living in florida, sucks cuz Its perfect to be riding right now. Im am going to talk with my local cycle shop and see if he has any takeoff parts that I can get from him. Would anyone know if thier is any other model bike that use the same size rotors. Mabey I can get some off a bike hes has in the shop that is for parts only.

Yep, most of your stopping power is up front on a sport bike. There's no excuse for the former owner to not have kept good brake pads on the bike. Its such an easy job to change those pads. If anything, I tend to change mine too soon! ;-)

As for new rotors, you can go stock factory Honda or order new ones from aftermarket.

If you watch ebay, sometimes you can snag up EBC pro-lite rotors for the F4 for a pretty fair price.

Stock rotors can be obtained pretty readily, but be careful, alot of shops don't test to see if they are warped before they throw them on ebay.

Also F4i rotors do not fit.

Good luck
