I can recommend Armstrong discs - they're good stoppers and don't wear excessively. |

Don't feel too downhearted, if you want to know what a money pit is, buy a boat. (BOAT, Bring On Another Thousand)
I would buy the Chinese discs if you are struggling with money, at least you will get back on the road.
Personally I would rather have new Chinese discs than second hand OEM's but it's a bit late to say that to you now. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

Can I suggest that you don't spend another penny on it until and unless you actually have a licence to ride it. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I agree I dont want to spend any more... And yes Get my license first before more money goes on this....
Anyway, I reseated the disc, cleaned up the place around the bolts again and its reduced the wobble some... And i thought that solved it at first. But having a second look its still a little wobble...
Ive tried to show it in this vid, what do you think?

I think i could get away with riding with that for a while.... but not 100% sure. ____________________ Yamaha FZ8/Fazer800 (split headlight one) 2014, gingerly getting used to the massive increase in HP and not killing myself in the process! That was easy to get used to.

You will soon tell when you try to ride it. Pulsating brake lever, vibration through the bars, juddering when you try to apply brakes. Binding when you push it around.
In other words, get new/another disc. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

Well in any case, even if by that was meant simply something like going full retard, what warps a disc is binding, i.e. if the brake is stuck on, i.e. if the pistons do not return once the brake lever is let go of. Other issues can cause binding too (e.g. my mate's off-road bike got a small pebble stuck in some part of the calliper that prevented one of the pads returning - the disc became very hot, and eventually warped).
So it's unlikely the warp of the disc has been caused by an accident of any sort - far more likely the calliper is binding, i.e. the pistons are staying out once the lever is actuated and not allowing the pads to return. This isn't uncommon or at least it isn't if the bike is used throughout winter and sees a lot of wet, salty roads, and if the calliper is not removed from its mounting, and the pistons allowed to actuate such that their inner surfaces can be cleaned, ditto the areas around the pistons' recesses. But even then, even once cleaned, there is no guarantee that the dust seals and the fluid seals are in good repair. Perhaps their recessed seats are oxidised, causing them to sit too proud, thus inhibiting the pistons' return once the fluid pressure is released i.e. the brake lever returns to normal position. Etc.
You do have to have a bit of common sense and feel in these situations, by which I mean, if you know your bike, its weight, its rolling resistance even just as you piss about getting it in and out of the shed/garage, or if kept curbside, how it feels immediately when setting off and/or when coasting to a halt at junctions etc. Slight binding will create a warm rotor - and this isn't problematic in and of itself, except that it's causing unnecessary pad and disc wear (albeit in slight amounts) - more pertinently, it's probably symptomatic of reluctant pistons/worn seals/corrosion within the calliper - and this can usually only deteriorate, sometimes quite quickly. Then it's a whole world of pain cos your discs get so fucking hot they warp out of true, your lever's pulsing, the bike's a turd and your family get loaded onto a cattle train and transported to an internment camp in the dead of night. Shit like that. ____________________ "Life is a sexually transmitted disease and the mortality rate is one hundred percent."
