Folks. Bike is a 58 plate GS 1200 (with ABS)
On braking at fairly low speeds on the front brake, im getting symptoms of a warped disc, (ie, feeling a slight pulse thru the brake lever for instance)
Not being sure if its one of the callipers or the actual wheel, ive swapped the wheel from a pals bike, and the problem isnt there. Therefore, its my wheel, not the calliper.
With my wheel back in, ive taken off the right calliper (hung it up out of the way, but still connected up etc), ridden the bike over a few yards and the problem is still there. Ive done the same with the left calliper and the problem goes away. Therefore its either the left disc causing the problem or its mountings or dare I say it, the "trigger" mech for the ABS. Whilst I havent had a DTI on the disc, a quick view with the naked eye suggests there doesnt seem to be any "warpage" (ill get a DTI on it tomorrow).
I guess a small amount of warping may be taken up by the discs bobbins anyway, which seem fine by the way !
Any other clues anyone ? (Apart from stealing my mates wheel back !!)
