Missing 1 rotor bolt, safe?

Hey y'all,

Do you think it’ll be ok to use a front wheel where 1 bolt is missing from 1 side of a rotor? I have 4 bolts on but one of the holes in the rim is fused with a busted bolt. I may bring it to a machinist during the winter to fix it though.

For now do you think its safe?

 

What class do you race in? I need to know how to avoid racing you, if you’d even consider this to be okay.

No. Wheels are cheap. Life is not.

 

Gotta love Gixxer owners

 

Looks like an R6 wheel to me

 

Wow

 

This should be fun....lol

 

"safe" you can probably get by but you will likely warp your rotors and uneven brake wear. I wouldn't race with it like that.

 

Tuna?

 

What's that got to do with the price of tea in China?

This

 

Yeah - because no one who owns a Yamaha, Honda, Kaw, BMW, blah blah blah would ever do that...

 

What's the worst that could happen?

 

Dude!

 

Thanks, your suggestions helped a lot. It’ll be a wall ornament.

 

Remove bolt.

 

Hopefully it won't fall off the stand from the uneven weight distribution

 

With a PowerCommander and JBWeld, anything is possible.

 

Now wait just a minute there pal!

 

it's 5/6 safe, so for racing where you look for additional 50% safety (wire, loctite, RTV) you're 4/6 or 2/3 too unsafe.

 

So I found a Grenade and the pin is missing , is it safe to play with ???

 

What do you mean by safe?
No the rotor will not fall off, you might not notice it either.

Is riding with 4 bolts the right thing to do?
No
