Default Bad calipers maybe?

I'm having a wierd issue with my front brakes on my 03 600RR. On occasion it feels like the pads are getting into the slots on the rotors and grabbing, I was wondering if anybody has had this problem. I don't really think that it's warped rotors because there's no pulsing, and sometimes it's perfectly fine.

Sounds like a possible sticky piston in the caliper. Hard to say without an in-person
look at it.

If you haven't done it since you've owned the bike,
I would recommend doing a complete over-haul/lube/fluid change.

It's just good maintenance on a 10 year old bike.
So it's not wasted money/time.

I'd even consider going to ss-braided lines, as well.

I got new calipers for it, unfortunately the guy lied to me and the 04 calipers are nowhere near fitting my 03 so that kinda put me out. Trying to sell them to get the right ones. eventually going to do an overhaul, just waiting for funds. thank you

My rotors pulse because my fork seal leaks on one side.
