I put a full floating kit in my stock rotors and it was bichen for about 6K miles then I started to get some front end shake. They wore so much that they would go off center and cause imbalance. I replaced the rotors with a good used set and the front end shake went away. Maybe that is why the factory uses semi? The bike is an 04ST4s.

OK, if full-floating buttons work so much better, why do we have the semi-floaters? I see the Corse Dynamics full-floaters warn of more rattle, and it puts me in mind of the Ducati dry clutch situation where the more they rattle, the more they seem to wear. Perhaps this isn't relevant because all the motion in a brake disc situation is in one direction, consistent and relatively-smooth. Maybe it's just a question of degree: semis will compensate for minor/residual disc runout but fulls are needed in the worst case. Note that neither will compensate for disc thickness variation and it wouldn't take much!
