    ive got a riding pal with an issue;- under braking he gets a front end judder. He's got a standard set up with the addition of an ohlins steering damper. It has only recently started. This juddering only becomes apparent when braking quite heavily from speed.

    is it the front forks bottoming out?

    Sounds like a warped disc....

    Could be a disc, but if he get brake hard and it disappears it could be sloppy head bearings or worn fork sliders.

    I had a similar issue on the cbr and was convinced it was a disc. Checked and they were very slightly out of true. But the fact they float should have taken that away.
    As per cab, I found the head bearings were worn a bit.
    Replaced and completely smooth braking now.

    Also worth cleaning and turning the bobbins on the disc. Can give same symptoms.

    Thanks for the replys lads. It is only doing it at high speeds. That bobbin tip is a winner Lee

    My order of check would have been warped disc, headraces, worn fork bushes / sliders.

    I had that when I went in to corners really fast. Turned out it was my arse twitching!

    On a more useful note warp disks show when you travel slowly and come to a halt. under soft brakeing the bike will lurch to a halt
