'02 R1

should the brake disc bobbins be able to rotate (stock discs)?

Despite tightening a nut and bolt on them 'fairly' tight I still cannot rotate them - should they be able to move or not?

eg.

trying to fix a slight pulse at the lever before buying new discs. They're straight but right hand one has slight variation in thickness (less than 0.1mm)

Yes they should rotate, spray loads of brake cleaner on them whilst moving them back and forth with a nut and bolt.

A little wd40 may also help but obviously make sure you clean the disc properly afterwards.
