i cant seem to stop the front end of my 954 shuddering agressively when starting a stoppie.

If i smash the brakes on hard while travelling fast and get it really high straight away (like your supposed to) it doesnt do it. But if i do a slower speed stoppie it shakes the bars so hard i nearly go over.
i had the problem years ago on my Gixxer, i just put genuine pads in and it stopped.

i have genuine pads, good wheel bearings, good steering head bearings and straight wheels/forks etc and it still does it???

any help appreciated, any stoopid co(k remarks arent!

check your tire

definately not bent rotor, the brakes dont do it all the time, and lever dont move.
Got new Michelin Pilot Power on front.

I have that same problem I have heard that the caliper pistons can stick and can cause this, I think my front master is going to **** too! cause i can pull it all the way to the grip with force,

I think the first thing i would try is cleaning out the calipers, you just need that star allen head to seperate them!

my gix did that and it was bent rotors, my 636 was doing that same thing and it was bent rotor and rim. i never felt anything in the lever at all and it would only do the shuttering at low speeds.
