Well, the Oscillation in the front end of my CB has returned. It's going to the shop very soon, don't worry, I am not going to try to fix this myself.
Small recap: Last year I replaced my front brake discs because i was feeling a rythmic oscillation in the front end under low speed front braking. This is a classic sign of a warped brake disc. after replacing them both, I was happy to report that the oscillation went away. However, over the course of many months the oscillation slowly returned. It's been less than a year at this point and it's already back, leading me to believe there's now something wrong with the bike itself that's re-warping the new discs. Everything I know how to measure seems to be aligned with regards to the front forks ect, but then I don't know much. Another interesting symptom I noticed is that one of the four brake pads in the front calipers is wearing out much faster than the other 3...even though they were all changed at the same time. odd.
As said above this is definitely going to a shop because everything I work on is a disaster, but I'm still curious. What does the knowledge base at large think could be causing these discs to warp?
