Hi all:
Like others, I am having problems with the front discs (right disc actually) on my 1200 sport, shudderring, especially at high speed. I have freed up the bobbins etc (kept them free since 3000km, now have 9500km) with no change. The right disc has significant runout and has variations of up to 1.5 thou over the disc surface (left disc only 0.5 thou).
I am going to try a warranty claim, but from other people's experieces, am not hopeful.
As floating discs can't be reground and I can't put up with this shudderring problem, looks like disc replacement is the only way to go.
I had thought of going after market, and looked at EBC discs. Not sure if it is an exchange rate problem or something else, but I priced the discs with new pads here in Australia, and they are incredibly expensive. Looking at about $1000 for the lot.
I was wondering, does anybody know (or know where to find out) what specific model of bikes have the same discs as the Breva 1100? I have not heard of any problems with the Breva's discs, and the Breva shares the same front end (as far as I can tell) as the 1200 sport. Discs must be interchangeable?
I was thinking if Ducatis / Aprilias / Japanese bikes etc share the same discs (or disc diameter, offset and bolt pattern), I should be able to get a pair form the wrecker at a more reasonable price. I don't care about the wave disc pattern, just want something that works and doesn't vibrate.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jason
