The time has come for a new front tire. I have a '00 M2. The PO says the disc was warped and should be replaced when the tire is. When breaking hard there is a little bounce or jerk but not bad. Any suggestions for the tire and the disc? Thanks Michael

i'm getting a good bit of pulsing from the front tire and i probably screwed up with the heavy riding up there in georgia but luckily i have the old disc from the other bike still around. i wouldn't think that it's gonna get any better. change it while the wheels off.

The best disc for the money is from EBC IMO. As far as the tire get whatever matches the rear.

I'd agree with Rick on the EBC rotor. A new EBC from Al at Americansportbike is actually cheaper than an OEM Buell replacement. Plus it's a much better rotor.

As for front tires...I don't like to mix & match rubber. I'd replace the front with whatever is on the rear. Or replace both with the same brand.
