I honestly dont think someone heavy/strong pushing on the handlebars is going to lower the suspension enough to test it...

But you could always use tie-downs and try to get the suspension to compress as much as you can - still wont bottom out all the way, but can get it close. THEN you can see that the line can touch the rotor...

But hey - why "test" it?? The manufacturer has already tested it and believes that it is enough of an issue to cause a recall - thats enough evidence for me!
