Brake juddering: THE SAGA CONTINUES.
Hi everyone,
I have an awesome gpz1000rx 1986, awesome except for the fact that under braking I get that bad juddering (real bad here, no slight pulsing BAD BAD BAD juddering.
Oh thats easy you say, new discs.
Done that. Problem still there.
Was suggested that the rim could be bent (hit a traffic island at speed) and to overhaul the brake calipers and get new bearings.
Done all that and still the problem is worse (I also fitted braied brake lines at this stage).
I thought maybe the "new" - read 2nd hand, discs were not true,so I sent them off to f1 in hammyton, and they confirmed that the discs are true and within tolerance. - they still re surfaced them to be sure.
F1 said to check out if the hub was out of true and to check theres no crap between the disc and the hub, I had a look and there was a very tiny ammount of stuff which I took off with a bit of sand paper.
so kb gurus, what on earth could be causing the juddering under braking? When slowly moving/pushing the bike and I apply light brake pressure I can feel the brake lever pulsing
I hope I have given out enough information.
Thanks for you help

Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot
