diychap Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 Hi all, Exiting the Mway under light front braking I am getting vibration from through the bars. If I apply firm or hard front braking I have no vibes, can anyone offer advice. I have no excess play in the headset, all front wheel bolts secured, 800 mile worn in front tyre and good depth on front pads. I have not checked the front discs for warp yet, seems unlikely since very lightly worn. Wonder if brake pressure in one side lower causing light grabbing of the disc Thanks for any help

diychap Posted May 25, 2007 Author Posted May 25, 2007 take out and inspect the pads if one has come off its backing or is starting to.. you could be in trouble! also check fluid levels and possibly bleed the feckers. worst comes worst change fluids, Level OK and could ask previous owner when fluid replaced last but they are rock solid, no sponge. Looks like I'll be enjoying the BH with fw out and inspecting pads/discs , still no fun having no brakes is it!! Thanks for the advice, let you know what I find!

Pads OK, maybe a bit close to the limit. Best to change, I'll do the hoses while I'm at it should be changed after 5 years anyway. Thanks
