Brakes

Evening all. Iv got a rr6 and when I brake I have a pulse in the lever and judder on front end, I my thoughts straight away is that it's the discs but before I spend money on new set is there anything else that it could be? All the help would be great.

Cheers

 

First try cleaning the bobbins, they tend to stiffen up if they're not cleaned properly.

 

Thanks but what do you mean by bobbins?

 

He's referring to the metal rings in each disc as the bike has floating discs where they move sideways slightly to stay central to the callipers as the pads wear. The metal rings should spin freely, but can be cleaned up if they're seized.

 

Check wheel bearings and headstock bearings

 

Okay that's great did not know that will have a look tomorrow and find out.

 

Do check Colin's suggestions too though, it may be quicker to lift the front and see if the wheel or steering have any play which could also cause your issue.

 

warped disc(s)?

 

Here's a little vid I watched when I needed to do mine for the first time.

 

Thanks is this fix your problem?

 

I have seen this due to contamination,,wd40 , fork oil or similar

 

Sorry not been on for a while , But yes It fixed my problem.
