02-04-11, 01:00 AM

I recently had the brakes off my K5 GSXR 750 so gave them a complete service.

All went well and they're in very good nick but tonight on my first ride since doing them I was getting quite severe judder when coming to a stop from about 15mph.

I've read THIS recent thread all the way through and can't see how any of the suggestions could apply to me.

The only thing I can think of from the other thread is that I possibly didn't torque the steering stem nut properly as I also had the top yoke off to fit raised clip ons but I can't see me forgetting that. Also I didn't put any more copper slip on the back of the pads before I refitted them as there was already a bit on them.

Any suggestions?
