Re: Help me i tried everything

Are your pads and discs in half decent condition?

Mine judder a bit but thats cos my fork seals have gone and all my fork oil ran away but i cant stoppie at my spot in **** weather anyways so it dont matter

As for the bar brake you can use pretty much any master cylinder as long as it has a seperate reservoir (not built into the bar clamp) but dont buy a **** one.......cos it will be **** obviously

Re: Help me i tried everything

if its a shuddering you most likely have a warped rotor or other brake issue. if youre getting head shake could be a bent rim or just an oddly worn tire if everything else is tight. do you run a steering stabilizer?

Make sure you get a radial brake master cylinder cos theyre much better than the usual poop they put on bikes, ebay is probs the best bet, i run a Gsxr k7 master on mine cos i got it free an it works pretty sweet but if ya can afford a brembo get one of them

Re: Help me i tried everything

things it could be....

fork bushes
warped discs
shitty brake pads
fucked tire....

ride along in a straight line and apply the brakes gently, if you feel a pulse through your lever then its the discs.

If you dont have a pulse through the lever then try a new set of pads as its the cheepest option

then a fork service.

Dont go changeing your discs at first, make sure they are faulty as it wont be cheap.
