[Trickyh]

Did you de-bur (sp?) the disks before fitting them? There was a free DVD with one of the sportsbike mags a couple of months ago showing how to fit various bits of bling, PCIII etc. One of the first things the mech did after getting the wavey out of the packet was de-bur every hole with a small grinding stone in a Dremel. No idea if it makes much difference, but seems sensible to me as the edges can sometime feel a fit rough....

I really liked my wave disks on my Ducati. I used rotors by a manufacturer called (simply) Breaking. For two years I ran 4 pad 4 piston Brembos on a Brembo radial master cylinder with Goodridge dual lines on my race bike.

I have yet to find another system that could match this set-up either for outright performance or for feel.

I guess some of the more radical designed wave rotors with huge cutouts may well cause issues.

For me the wave disks reduced the problem that I suffered on fast tracks of the fluid boiling and performance fading rapidly.

thanks for your responses guys,

I look into the de-burring route - seems like a lot of hassle that should been addressed by the manufacturer - but then again the price was pretty good.

I am gathering some interesting feedback from the various boards I have posted the question.

Seems like the buzzing is common, but not inevitable.

If I get a definitive answer I will tack it into this thread for anyone who is interested.

BTW - the supplier of the discs says that he is sending me a set of replacement discs immediately - if this is the case, I am impressed with his service and I will post his details here when I receive them.
