Hey all,

 

Wow, hard to imagine the rotors are warped after only 8K miles? Unless you’ve been braking hard coming down from high mountain rides or something.

 

I have 46K miles on my ’99 ST2 and for the past 2K miles I have been suffering the pulses, too. I think I wrecked my front rotors last year over a couple of days riding very hard in the Monongahela Mtns.

 

After helpful advice from this Forum, I put on a new front tire & cleaned the Rotor and the buttons, all that definitely mitigated the pulses but they still occur. Next step is to take off the OEM Brembo front rotor and replace it with a Glafer. Certainly not the cheapest solution but hey it’s my Ducati I’m talkin’ about.

 

Anyone think steel braided Brake lines on a ST2 is of value?

    I put steel lines on my ST2 several years ago and it was the best thing I ever did for it. We ride two up on it quite often and the feel is much better . I did it to several
    other bikes before but doing it to the ST made the biggest improvement.
