Well I finally had to admit the front brake judder was getting worse
After a very thorough inspectition which consisted of turning the front wheel with a screwdriver acting as a pointer, It was obvious the front left hand disc was warped. Balls -- expensive They were barley worn but warped all the same, I noticed a couple of dings in the carrier which were probably caused by a disc lock - so maybe that explains it.
There are also a few threads about fireblades which I think have the same disc, warping at around 12K for no reason. I have just under 14K now.
According to the PFM website it is ok to just replace one front disc - there will be no uneven pull as they are both on the same wheel - I decided to replace both anyway.
I had new honda (nissin) pads ready to go in so at least I didn't have to buy them.
The idea of fancy PFM discs popped up - but they rust like hell and I would have to buy different pads - and they were even dearer than the Honda discs. I also read some reports that the uneven rusting had them reduced to scrap in a few months.
So I decided to go with the same again.
Rebuilt calipers with Zinc plated original bolts, and gave them the cleaning of their lives
Even buying the discs wasn't easy, DSS sent two right hand discs, one SP1 the other SP2. I was ready to kill one quite unhelpfull employee who dicked me around for a week without doing anything so after a few emails and phone calls I got someone else who sorted it out straight away no prob.
Does this crap just happen to me?
Front stand "borrowed" from my brother
Also got a nice new floor in my workshop, Saw it in Performance Bikes a few months ago. At the time I thought it was mad, but I came round to the idea and decided to do it! The painted concrete was dead and very dusty and grimey. I used the cheapest laminate I could get - cost five Euro a square yard and it is great so far. I have spilt oil and brake fluid on it and it just wipes up - really easy to keep clean. It will scratch with side stands so I use little off cuts under them.
Chuffed with it so far - time will tell
