Author Message   Chauly Posted on Wednesday, August 29, 2012 - 02:23 pm:        OK, Lafayette, Have you ever experienced a slip-grip-slip-grip braking from the front rotor? Not much runout on the disc at all, and there is no visible surface contamination or appearance difference that I can see. Resurface? Replace? IIRC, the disc was replaced under recall years ago... CRS moment...   Buell_bert Posted on Wednesday, August 29, 2012 - 06:15 pm:        Runout is one thing but also mic the thickness at different points. HARD SPOTS? Discoloration on the rotor? Also remove, clean and reinstall on a clean mounting surface and check for good bearings as that may be another situation. Good luck.   Buellistic Posted on Wednesday, August 29, 2012 - 06:53 pm:        Chauly: PM me and "i" will send you some HELP "INFO" ... 1st question is have you had your bike to a H-D dealer just before you posted ???   Chauly Posted on Wednesday, August 29, 2012 - 10:49 pm:        1st question is have you had your bike to a H-D dealer just before you posted ??? Hell, no!   Littlebuggles Posted on Thursday, August 30, 2012 - 04:22 am:        Stock formula pads can leave a residue that will give a pulsing feel, or make it feel as if maybe your rotor is warped. Switching to the Lyndall gold pads fixed that. They cleaned off the residue (which I couldn't really see, but sure could feel) and they don't squeal like the stock pads do.   Foximus Posted on Thursday, August 30, 2012 - 10:06 am:        you should be resurfacing your rotors with sandpaper between pads.... Don't rely on new pads to grind off the old layers. Bad habits fellas...   01x1buell Posted on Thursday, August 30, 2012 - 07:01 pm:        what grit of sand paper ???   Foximus Posted on Thursday, August 30, 2012 - 07:52 pm:        Anything below 200 would be fine. I use a rotary polisher with coarse fiber bits.   Ratbuell Posted on Friday, August 31, 2012 - 07:33 am:        also don't hold the bike in place at lights with the front brake. Hot pads clamped to the rotor = grabby spots / residue. Use the front brake to stop, rear brake to hold. Word of warning on Lyndalls - I ran them on my Uly for a while, and they don't fade progressively. One corner they're there...next corner, NOTHING. There've been a few guys in Uly-land who've experienced it. You have to work them hard to make it happen, but when it happens....pucker up!
