> Your solid rotors are grooved? Machine them yourself.

>  - Get both front wheels up in the air.
>  - Remove the wheels, but put the wheel bolts back into the rotors.
>  - While the motor is not running, put gear in first, or second.
>  - Here comes the fun part, start the motor, but DON'T touch the brake

>  - Grab a grinder, and "machine" both external rotor faces as best as you

>  - Once the rotors look ok, stop the motor. Remember DON'T touch the brake

>  - When the rotors stop turning, remove the wheel bolts, and reverse the
> rotors: face out, now in.
>  - Wheel bolts back on.
>  - Start the motor.
>  - Grind the rotors.
>  - Stop the motor.
>  - New pads in, and rotors back into their normal place.
>  - Bed pads
