Frt Brakes Pulsating

Has anyone experienced any issues with front brakes pulsating. I have a 2000 RKC. I replaced the rotors thinking they were warped, but the pulsating came back. I've cleaned the calipers and pistons but can't seem to get it to go away. Any suggestions?

Had the same trouble. I first replaced pads and rotor. Little help. Took it to the dealer. Said that the pistons were gummed up/rusted up. Had taken sand paper and a good cleaner to the pitsons. Worked fine afterwards. I recommend using Lyndal brake pads when replacing. Less brake dust.

Yep, I had the exact same problem. Had the dealer check the rotors, run out was within tolerance. He changed the pads and problem solved. My bike was 5 years old & had 23K when the pads were replaced.

Thanks All for the updates, I did replace the pads with Lyndal. I guess I will clean the Calipers better.
