For one thing they are called 'bobbins' or 'buttons'... don't know what a buttom is.
Another thing... if the rotors have become that loose they are most likely worn thinner than spec anyway.
Yes, there is a tool to tighten the bobbins, or you could do it some other way, but for me, I see it as an opportunity to upgrade to a lighter/better rotor, such as the Pro-Lite rotors from EBC.

Very informative. This should be at least a once a year maintenance ritual especially in a year round climate with humidity and salt air.
Thanks for the info VJ !

These rotors are called FREE FLOATING rotors.
If they rattle, they've exceeded their life span.
Motorcyclist online, has an article sitin' what to look for in bad rotors (yes, dimension is an item to look for).
But, as others have stated, why repair faulty rotors.
Just replace 'em.
Also, I had a GL1500SE with bad rear bearings once. I: replaced the rear rotor 3 times, rebuilt the final drive once, replaced the final drive twice, 'til I found that the wheel bearings were the problem. I did all this work at the advice of a reputable Honda Technician.
If replacin' yer rotor then, look to EBC for solutions. My experience with the debacle mentioned was EBC makes some of the most economical brake solutions 'round. The rotor I finally used came from EBC, was SS, at a 1/3 of EOM's price. The rotor lasted the duration of my troubleshootin' and was sold with the bike.
