trueing brake rotors
my right front rotor was tweeked when i laid my bike down. how safe is it to just bend it back? there's no sharp bends, it just wobbles in the caliper a little bit. it wobbles enough that it pushes the pads back in the caliper so that i have to pump the lever to push the pads back out. the rotor scrapes the caliper body a little bit too, but not too bad. i'm only asking because i can't find a good used rotor, and i'm not spending $130 for a brand new one, cuz the bike is a roach. the bike is finally all back together, new front end installed, new case covers on, running, all it needs is the headlight mounted (i want to go streetfighter cuz the upper and fairing stay are destroyed) but i don't want to really ride it until i know it's safe. i've ridden it around the block, just to test it, but that's it. thanks for your input, flamers welcome.
