Since SV650.org members appear to have experienced everything that could possibly go wrong with a bike, I wonder if any of you can help with this...

My rear brake pedal (on the Speed Triple) has started to vibrate up and down when pressed. This is an intermittent problem which makes it all the more mysterious. It was particularly bad tonight with the lever bouncing up and down quite violently. It can happen when the brakes are cold, so it's not the fluid boiling. I've checked and topped up the resevoir - it was on min - but that hasn't cured it either.

I'd have thought that if the disc was warped then it would happen every time.

Any ideas?
