Hey Everybody,
I have been struggling with this issue since I got the bike. :frown2:
Braking is always very smooth, but every now and then, especially when driving a bit more aggressively, the front shakes like crazy when braking hard. The funny thing is, when I release the brake a little bit, and immediately brake again, most of the time it brakes smoothly the rest of the way?
Also once it has happened one time it tends to happen easier afterwards. (Hot brakes?)
It's quite dangerous, because it comes unexpected.
Luckily I got it on camera: Around the 0:50 mark you can see what I mean.
Discs are not warped (guess the problem should always be present)
Forks arent bumping at the end (tested with tiewraps)
I've cleaned the floaters.
Ive tightened steering stem, no free play.
Forks are visibly in good condition.
Brakepads are 50%
I'm going to change the brake fluid.
Next check the state of steering stem bearings.
But If any of you guys have any idea/or experience with a similar problem. I would love to hear suggestions.
thanks so much!
(Also if anybody notices the red light, oil is a bit low, gonna service it this week :wink2: )
