    Is it possible to get motorcycle brake discs skimmed, the rear disc has minimal wear just ran pads beyond low and marked them. Bike is fzs 1000.

    No, they're too thin.
    Personally I would just fit new sintered pads and not worry about it. The new pads will either polish the disc surface and/or mate to any slight grooves in the surface of the disc. Just take it easy as they bed in.
    If it's warped though bin it.

    I imagine a good used disc would probably be comparable in price to skimming.

    Its only a rear, I'd either buy second hand or order from China/Hong Kong.

    I'd to replace a cracked rear disc on a BMW R1100S and was quoted over €200 ~ I got one delivered to my door from Hong Kong, postage included - €49!!.

    I haven't heard of anyone skimming a disc is years.
