HEY GUYS, I JUST BOUGHT AN 03 RX1 AND THE BRAKE ROTOR IS REALLY LOOSE ON THE SHAFT AND IT RATTLES LIKE NO TOMORROW. HAS ANYONE EXPERIANCED THIS? AND IS THERE A FIX FOR IT? THANKS SCOTT :o| :o| :o|
 
I have an odd issue with mine too.

My parking brake pads keep wearing out. I noticed my brake rotor is also fairly loose and I'm guessing it hits the parking brake pads every now and then.

The wear rate has been getting worse. Right now a new set of parking brake pads will probably last about 3500 miles (if I regularly tighten the cable just enough to hold my sled on my trailer when tilted).

Is this typical or are there some shims available to tighten up the rotor/jack shaft slop?

(and no - I haven't accidently left the parking brake on while riding...)
