Took 'er out for the first time since november thanks to another beautiful calgary chinook.
However, my front brake has become very scary to use. Everytime I used it it seemed to pull the bike hard to the left (always started with the left) then hard to the right and so on until i stopped. I thought maybe it was just dust or other buildup but it continued on for the entire ride, even after an 80kph-0 stop, so I have ruled that out.
the rotors look straight and it has been parked in a heated parkade (18*C) all winter. I did take all the fairings off and painted it white this winter but none of that touched any braking components. Tire pressure hadnt budged for the entire year last year but I havent checked it yet, although the bike handled and drove perfect.
any idea what else I can look into? at this point ill be taking it to the dealer once the season officially starts to get them to look at it if the tire pressure is normal.
