Brake Rotor Bulletin
Posted: Mon Aug 31, 2009 11:14 am
On a recent road trip of abut 7000 miles, I began to notice a pulsation in my front brake lever during easy/moderate stops. Toward the end of the trip, it had become so apparent that I could feel the deceleration of the bike vary as it came to a stop. I don't recall reading about this issue at all on this group, but I Googled "BMW motorcycle brake vibration" (or something like that) and found there was a Service Bulletin (#34 006 08) to address the issue. I've also looked at the parts catalog and discovered that the front brake rotors and mounting hardware were changed in mid-2008.
I'm waiting before I bring this up to a dealer, because my front tire is pretty much worn out and I want to rule out a tire issue first. But I was wondering if anyone else here has had the same problem and how the dealer responded to the complaint.
