Hey,
Just a quick question.
It would appear there is still something up with my back break...

Although the bike was MOT'd just the other day i have been aware that after the whole *break caliper leaking* incident, when using the back break to slow from 35+mpg there is some vibration. I wouldnt have thought it would be a warped disk because the break pedal itself does not pulsate etc but the bike itself shakes a little Shocked

Nothing violent but it is noticable (especially at the clocks).

I suspect the pads may want replacing, they got covered in break fluid and i sanded them a little/went for a ride just before the MOT but the shakes are coming back so i think some got absorbed or something...

That doesnt quiet explain the vibrations though.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Best regards

-Jvr

It could be wheel bearings or swingarm bearings causing the juddering.

Oh and 'break' is something you take at work, on your bike you have a rear brake. Wink
