MOT'd it yesterday, got an advisory for 'front roller brake test indicates slight fluctuation of brake effort'

There is quite a bit of vibration when braking.

Think I'm going to have to buy new discs, if it was the wheel would the discs not have the same amount of runout?
Try...taking the discs off & cleaning up, making sure the mating surfaces of both wheel & disc are spotlessly clean & free from any contamination.

Before lashing out try finding someone with either a spare wheel or who's willing to let you borrow their front wheel, if the symptoms remain you know it's not the wheel or discs...If the vibes gone you know its wheel /disc. Start by getting the disc checked & then the wheel. You could do this buy swapping your discs on to the spare wheel...If it still has an issue then it's the discs... although I would try their disc's on your wheel as well just to be double sure.

So any one near Inverness willing to help ?

Your more than welcome to ride down to me to borrow a wheel but Kent might be pushing it a bit far...By the time you've ridden here & back you would have spent enough in fuel to by a new Wheel & a set of discs... :lol:
Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...

I tried taking the discs off and cleaning a while ago, going to do another run out check, but with calipers off this time so they can't effect result.

I don't know of anyone up here with a Storm, cheers for offer but yeah a bit far :D
