how much run out is acceptable on a floating disc before a replacement is required?

GS discs are not floating. Are you planning to switch rotors and/or front wheels?
According to the factory service manual for the GS1000, the allowance is .012" runout on the front disc. I think this is too much though; had a 550 and the front disc was .008" out and the brakes felt horrible (too much pulsation). Replaced that disc with one that measured .002" and the brakes felt good. Guess I'm suggesting something in the range of .002 - .004 or so should be OK.Ed

1mm of runout doesn't sound good at all. Floating discs are able to move side to side slightly but they should not wobble.Ed

i thought it may be a bit excessive, even for a floating disc1978 GS1085.

I like to use a flat surface or straight edge and a feeler gauge on floaters.
they have 40~60 thou play or more normal. hence the term floating. hope your caliper is not a floater too.
one side or the other needs to be fixed stationary. dual floating mixmatch is a recipe for disaster.SUZUKI , There is no substituteComment

the caliper is not a floater, i dont think. its off a kawasaki zx9r. no silly sliding pins etc, just solidly bolts to the mount. (when i make it!)1978 GS1085.
