Question Brakes juddering following complete service?

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?

Tell a lie, I fitted braided lines too as I needed a longer one.

One of the reasons I got rid of my 600rr was complete lack of confidence in the front brakes. I never could confirm what it was.

Have you changed the pads?

Well the conclusion in that thread is that the rivets that hold the discs were stuck and cleaning them helped.

So give your rivets a good cleaning (the spring loaded circles that allow your brake discs to float on the disc mounts).

If it happened all of a sudden, thats likely to be what it is... unless you happened to lean on/drop, bend one whist fitting or removing the discs.

A good dose of brake cleaner should sort it out, concentrated on the rivets.

I didn't remove the discs and I can't see how they would suddenly stick. I will check them however.

Having read countless threads on Gixxerjunkies it appears to be a problem with several K4/K5 600s and 750s although I can't find any that it seems to have started after being worked on.

Curiouser and curiouser.
