Had this on my old ZZR, turned out to be the brake disk bobbins were not the right size!!VTR1000KAZ wrote:Although it doesn't feel like it all the time.....but sometimes its as if the forks are loose/rocking back and forth.......like I said tho...it doesn't feel like this all the time.....mainly on braking gently. Any other ideas???
When you put the brakes on they 'clunked' round slightly before biting
Other thoughts,
The old favorite steering head bearings or possibly worn fork bushes?
If you raise the front off the ground (block under the engine is favourite) see if there's any front to back movement in the forks
Or wheel bearing
As above but grip the wheel at top and bottom and wiggle it. Any movement and either the bearings are going or the other half didn't tighten the spindle up last time he was tinkering (you haven't just taken out a whopping life insurance policy have you?
