I think I am on to something... Our rotor bolts have a "spring" between the bolt and the rotor. As I have never removed these myself, I don't know which way they go, but I can tell you they definitely have a right way and a wrong way. the way they came off (which is how the shop may have put them on if they took them off to mount a tire) they fit snuggly against the bolt and do not seem like they would "spring" at all. but if I turn them around and put opposite the way they came off, the they stick out at the outer edge and would certainly "spring" so long as the bolt bottoms out before they are squashed completely. So, does anyone here know? and could this be what caused the warped rotor feeling I was getting? It would make sense to me, since the rotors would not "float" at all I don't think if assembled the snug fitting way. Wow, I really hope someone knows! and if you have a shop manual, I'm going to need the precise torque value. (to keep from squashing the "springs") I know Honda spent some time and money on this bike, but this seems like a really cheap way of faking floating rotors...
think I found answer to torque = 15 ft lb
