Brake pulsing??
Can you elaborate on the Pad slider bit???? I ride in the rain more than anything (up here in Seattle), I can take a look as soon as I have a clue what your talking about. Thanks for the scoop
Yep, the slider is a rod that goes through the top (or bottom) of the two pads, it does two things, allows the pads to be suspended in place and when you pull on the brake they actually slide across the rod (& when you let go, slide back) The clearance for the slider is not a tight fit, but if the surface becomes a bit rough, the pads don't slide cleanly, but grab a bit as they go (grab, move, grab) there is a hole in each pad that the round slider fits through. If you have a look at one of the front calipers, on the side, bout half way, you will see a round plug (metal) with a groove in it, that looks like it would suit a flat head screw driver (which it does). Once you remove this plug, you will see the slider head.
If you remove the slider, the pads will could drop down (they won't fall out), but its just a matter of lifting them back into place when your insert the slider again.

When you remove the plugs, the slider is under it, remove it and polish them....then, realign the pads and re-insert sliders, and screw plugs back in...Do I have it right? Thanks for breakin it down Barney-Style for me, I just like to be sure.
Sounds about right, its pretty simple, its an easy thing to eliminate from the list of possibles. My bike did the same thing, usually at a dawdle, like rolling up to the lights, got the pulse feel, a couple of times I heard a noise as I was using the brakes. I thought the same thing, warped discs etc. But this thing only happened like every now and then, (especially if I had only ridden a short distance) & warped discs do it all the time (once theys warped, they stays warped) and this can be felt all the time, if their really bad it can be felt as a shudder through the bars. Try this fix 1st, it ain't hard to do, it worked on my bike, and I do it as a regular maintaince thing, just take your time, if you still have a problem then fer sure take it to the dealer who sold it to you & get it fixed. If you don't feel comfortable about it, then just take it back, that's wot warrantys are for.
Your probably like me and had the front wheel off the ground, spinning it, seeing if it made any weird noises that you had not heard before, "wots that?" (yeah like you lift the front wheel up every time for reference) and jamming on the brake. All brakes make a noises anyway, as the disc passes the pads. If you get really frustrated then your probably going to want whip the pads out any have a look any way, (I did), get a manual if possible, and note the anti-rattle springs placement. Good Luck

you may also have bubbles in your lines...i think you should bring it back to them under warranty and let them figure it out.

I have the exact same thing happening to me only sometimes. Right before the bike comes to a stop, the brakes pulsate just a little. My friend's 600RR (bought right after mine) does the same thing so he says. I thought it was normal (being mine and his do the same thing), but I'll get this checked out ASAP from reading these posts.
