My discs clonk when I grab the front lever, that's what these type of discs tend to do. If you can post a video of the play that may help?
I sold my GTR a few weeks ago with 31k on the clock and had used two sets of pads front and rear, but I am a fanatic cleaner of my bikes and always rotate my bobbins weekly uninformed brake cleaner, and removing the pads for a clean as well, took all of 30 mins and gave me piece of mind. As for swopping left to right you takes your own chance, personally I would purchase new.
