So, somebody is free to correct me but I'm pretty sure the mag wheels are likely gonna be aftermarket from another bike. I don't think I've ever seen the GZ come stock with anything but spokes.

Yeah any time I have a moving part like that out, I grease it before reinstallation. So far it's a rule that's served me well!

Hmm...the first thing I can think of that isn't the pad vibrating is maybe the rotor is damaged/warped slightly? Any discoloration on the contact surface?
