I own a gas gas 250 jtr and the rear disc rattles real bad do i need a new disc or bigger washer on the screwa that hold it in situ.

if memory serves it may be a floating rear disc. My first GG, think it was a '95 250cc, had a floating rear disc. They rattle a bit.

But could be wrong!

I'm pretty sure the 96' uses a floater. As I remember, my 96' JTR came new from the factory with a few dabs of clear Silicone at the disk/hub/washer junctions to dampen the rattle so if it bothers you, that might be a fix (at least for a while).

Yep my JTR was a rattler to and the silicone on it helps for a while. Dont worry im sure it be fine after all its old bike and id expect a rattle or two but the engines were good old beasts back then.

My front disc started to rattle last weekend,at first I thought it might be loose but realized it was a full floater. No worries, I may try that silicone fix too.

It's only temporary, but I hate rattles and squeels on my bikes, they really distract me from finding a soft place to fall down.....
