Front Brake Disc Bobbins - Striple R - 2012

Hi all, could do with some advice reference front disc brake bobbins.

I’m a relative newbie to motorbikes compared to most, apologies
If this has been covered before.

I have had a look through previous posts and google and have ended up confusing myself.

After a ride today and a check over of the bike on return I noticed that the front discs when physically pulled with force move back and forwards.

firstly can someone confirm that this is normal? I’m aware they are semi floating so allow flex side to side as such just not certain they should have movement move back and forth.

if the bobbin is circular and sits in a circular hole then there should be space to move in all directions?

I will take a further look tomorrow in the daylight.

Both left and right discs have forward and backward movement the right side more than left.

Secondly - if forward and backward play is acceptable should the play be equal on both sides?

being my first road bike I’m as good as clueless on bobbins.

Braking system works fine.

Thanks in advance, Stew.

too much looking and you can end up as confused as you start

happy and safe riding
