Just wondering if any one out there that owns a Triumph Daytona 955 has had any issues with brakes vibrating on high speed braking?
i have replaced old pads with sinterded jobbies and i have also put dual braided lines down to the front and they haul arse when you pull them on, but they do have this fine vibration when you break under highish speeds.
Anyone had this before?:confused:

Vibration under brkaing usually means you've got a warped disc. Has it only started vibrating since changing the pads and lines?

It's not pads or lines it is either a bent disk or a dodgy wheel bearing, do the bearings first as they are cheep to replace. If you have access to a dial guage you can check the disk runout it needs to have less than 0.2 of a mm of runout. If the disks are warped it's time for new ones.

Never had a braking problem with my 03 Daytona and I've done over 90,000ks on mine how ever I will be replacing my rotors this year as they are at 4.2mm..but as already said start with wheel bearings cheaper than paying $400 odd per rotor if you don't need too

Wondered about the rotors, except that they are floating and only done 36k so figured it probably wouldn't be them. Hate to tell you guys this but the steering head is tight and solid.
I am thinking that the rotors or at least one maybe the issue.
It really only started when i put the sintered pads in. Not sure if that has any real bearing on the vibration or not.
Thanks for the input fellas.:niceone:

sorry to be the bearer of bad news but floating disks warp just as easily as sold mount units, milage dosen't come into it as it is not wear that warps them. I have seen warped disks on bikes with less than 5000km on them.

This i knew already but they are suppose to be at least able to correct themselves to a point i thought. It well may be that they are out a tad, but they seem to run true when you spin them. Not to worry, it's about the only logical thing it could be i think. Just thought someone may have come across something else i didn't know about.
Thanks for that.:done:
