Warped disc
Mine's been like that for ages (pulsing brake lever)
Became more noticeable after sintered pads and braided hoses. Can't be bothered to pay £340 for two new discs plus pads! I don't use the fronts much at slow speed anyway so it isn't too noticeable at speed

Re: Warped disc
Yep, warped brake disc. Lift the front wheel off the floor and spin it, you can often see which disc is warped by looking at the gap between disc and fork leg.logan7 wrote:what do they feel like ? i have a jerky pull up when going slow, cluch in to a stop. hard to feel when brakeing hard at speed !
Lots of examples on ebay for much less than £340. Honda used the same discs on loads of bikes, VTR, Fireblade, CBR6, VFR...Stratman wrote:Mine's been like that for ages (pulsing brake lever)

Might be worth getting in touch with Busters as they had some discs going very cheap not long back - here's the link:

discs
if the discs were that bad and it came with a years m o t then they passed it like that!!which is well dodgy...they should replace them because they wont want a call to the m o t will they 
good luck logan
good luck loganthey are now saying 1 disc is bent i must have dropped the bike!
I have not dropped it and would go on a liedetector it say so. the brake lever is a bit bent it was like that from the start they are saying it was not like that when it left the workshop. its my word against them but they can come up with 3 or 4 mecs and 2 or 3 salesmen.
