My front end shakes when i brake at high speed.
My front end shakes when i brake at high speed.
Most likely uneven brake pad deposits that feel just like a warped rotor, or a warped rotor, or sticking hardware.
IMO, get the manual:

Remove the rotor, and clean your stock rotor with scotchbrite, lube and torque the hardware as recommended, then replace the rotor making sure to follow the directions exactly. Re-bed the pads or even better, use the EBC HH pads for street use.
Flushed brakefluid cleaned everything with brakeclean and changed brakepads used scotchbrite on brakedisc it did not help, tried to balance the wheel but could not do it because of the wheelbearings where really bad. Changed out both bearings and still it vibrates or shakes, i have ordered new tyres and a new rotor and i will try changing the tire and balance it before i do anything else. Of course i will check if the steering stem bearings are good. Wish me luck..
I know this is an old bike that need some tlc, i will post whatever if find.

Perform this test. Happened to me when I bought a used 03 bolt. I got the front wheel off the ground and tightened up all of the bolts at the triple tree and the steering stem. No more shaking when braking!
