Front brake.... pulsating???
#13
MMC i had an identical situation on my cb919, it was fine when i got it but i think putting it away with wet disks got it started, tried to clean the rotors but never got it cleared, lived with it for some time and it gradually got slightly better and it felt that over time the patch grew longer to finally cover most of the surface by gradually applying the brake, it felt like the "resin" that binds the brake material together ( i don't know ) covered more and more of the surface, it definitely improved the friction until i replaced the pads which cleared it instantly, no more pulsing or at least very light and not very noticeable.

To isolate the problem you could swap one caliper inside with the outside pad, if that makes no difference swap the other caliper, swapping this way will at least point out which pad is pulsing the brake.

Not knowing the history of your bike it may be time for a different brand of pads, it does not add to the driving pleasure does it?
