Brake Rotor/Disc: Testing and Inspection
Before this inspection, brake pads must be removed.
Check disc surface for scratches in wearing parts. Scratches on disc surface noticed at the time of specified inspection or replacement are normal and
disc is not defective unless they are serious.
But when there are deep scratches or scratches all over disc surface, replace it. When only one side is scratched, polish and correct that side.

mm (0.98 inch) from the outer edge of the disc.
Limit on disc deflection: 0.15 mm (0.006 inch)
NOTE: Check front wheel bearing for looseness before measurement.
