i replaced the front brake pads on my 96 cbr with 21000 miles on it and now the front brakes vibrate when applied. do my rotors need replacing? i used galfer brake pads.

thanks

 

Not trying to be a smartass but you didn't flip one of the pads did you?

 

what do you mean flip? they only go one way right?

 

Hard to do, but watch the rotor by standing over the bike while riding. I know it sounds hard/dangerous, but just do it in an emply parking lot or road real slow. When my rotors were bent, I could see them knock side to side in the calapers when moving slow. Just my $.02

 

thanks i will try that. also this wasnt happening when the old pads were on. it started happening when i replaced with new pads..

 

I meant check the pads to be sure they're facing the rigght direction, with the wear indicators facing the rotor. Sounds like one of the pads could be flipped. If u look at the rotor u might see scoring which would be another indicator..

 

brake pads are facing the right direction. also my pads did not come with the wear indicators

 

what other indicator are you talking about?

 

You've probably got a warped rotor. It's easier to take the wheel off and put it on a stand and spin it to check and see if one of them is warped.
