Any ideas on this one ?? Dealer thought it was front tire cupping @1,900 miles on the bike, replaced to no avail. Happens when warm 80 plus F. whenusing rear brake only (non abs) more pronounced when the rear tire unloads on sharp bump while braking with the rear only. Thoughts ???



Thanks !!

Try adjusting your rear shock to a different level and see if that helps. And by the way;

Rear pads and/or rotor contaminated. Oil, Grease, Cleaner etc.:? Maybe there is a loose bolt on the caliber or rotor???:? Maybe one or both pads came loose from the backing plates??:? Pads are real easy to check. One little bolt and they drop right out.:) I'd be checking this out. You need brakes!:)

Pulsing or shudder through the pedal or lever on braking is a sure sign of a warped rotor.
