Handlebar Vibration

[MikeyC]

Noticed within the last couple of days, when I brake using the front brakes, I feel a lot of vibration in the handlebars, feels like the front wheel is gonna fall off! Is this likely to be the brake pads or disc? Or could it be something else?

Bike is a 1999 GSX-R600 by the way.

Assuming you haven't got ABS () then if you're feeling pulsing through the lever, it could be warped discs. See if you can get the front wheel of the ground, spin the wheel and see if the discs run "true". If it's vibration through the bars, it could be numerous things; wheel, tyres, tyres pressures, forks...

ok cheers, i'll give that a go, if its not warped then at least thats 1 thing i can rule out!

Didn't those SRAD Gixers (especially the 750) have a reputation for the disks warping?

Anyway, thats the first thing i'd think of, given the situation.

I think I saw some new disks on Ebay not long ago. Make sure you find out first though. Check pads/capliers as well. Make sure nothing funny is going on.

i dont get any vibration in the brake lever, thought you would with warped brakes? could be loose headstock?

i dought mikes got the disk's hot enough to warp them check the head stock ect, make sure all the brake bolts are done up and the axil nut ect.

and,.... FIX THE DAMN throttle

we can have a gander at it when you come to kill spills on sat

You might hear a clicking sound when braking if your headstock's loose. Check that your wheel (rim) is balanced too.
