    Has anyone ever turned rotors to get lil bit more life out of them?
    Where did you take them to get done?
    How much did it cost?

    Just curious

    I don't think I've ever heard of anyone turning a motorcycle rotor. If a rotor is that badly out of whack, I'd just buy a used OEM one to replace it.

    I didnt say rotor is that badly out of whack. Buying used? Nah, shit you get off ebay might be worse then the ones you're replacing! haha

    If it's not out of whack, then why turn or replace it? Seems like a good way to spend money for no change. I've heard of people scuffing up a rotor before changing to a different brand of brake pads, but even that isn't necessary most of the time.

    I wouldn't buy ebay rotors for the track.
    Its not worth the risk of something happening to the rotor which may put you in a bad situation.
