I think you'll notice more shuddering with our wave rotors during slower speed. Atleast i do..
major brake problem ??? HELP!!
This past weekend I put new brakes on my 07 10r, Nissin calipers, spiegler lines, and galfer pads. I went out on sunday with a group of very fast riders and put my bike through my limits, definetly rode her harder than ever before. Well my new brakes worked wonderfully, they for sure saved my @$$ more than once. They were noisy all day with a winding noise but they worked well and towards the end of the day at lower speeds they squeeked a bit, not terribly though. Today(Wednesday) I rode her to work, all seemed fine, on the way home even until I got off on my last exit I heard what sounded like crunching, as I rode into my neighborhood I tested them out from about 20 to 0 hard on the brakes and I get a violent shudder now, I bled and bled but that seems fine, but still I get the shudder. Are my rotors warped somehow? I'm lost everything seemed great till tonight. Does anyone have any clues? Thanks

Sounds like your steering head bearings need to be tightened!:thumbsup:No, it's like the whole front end is gonna fall apart type of shudder, it's downright dangerous.
Your bearing is just now getting sligtly loose and that is why you only have it at hard breaking... Get to a home computer and do a search... Trust me it will be worth it!!! I mashed up my rings using a big screwdriver/punch to tighten up the nut rings...Your suppose to tighten the bottom nut to a certain ft. tq. then back off and then put the top nut on tight...
