Falco Issues

[Thumper]

Right, so after a bit of hard riding i have a few issues with the falco.

My main concern is the front brakes. They are giving off a very strong pulsing when braking. Number 1 suspect is warped disks, but need to look into the possibility of a bent wheel too.

The second is it sounds quite valvey. Need to check and adjust them asap. Is there an online manual or has anyone posted a guide how to do this? Is it shimmed? is there any strange tools required to do this? etc.


Thanks,

Everything everyone else has said but if you have the original falco rotors they were naff (black centers) fit some from an RSV or similar even Ducati models ,they use this rotor on some models and can be picked up from stripped bikes at very reduced prices.
Don't pass over the brake pistons they have a tendency to stick on one side pushing the disk out of center in some cases.
This gives a similar warp sensation.

Look here also http://www.geocities.com/SL_mille/?200923 some interesting stuff.

Forgot to put in my pic showing my falco fitted with Ducati roters (can't remember the model now.



Wish I still had here somtimes.

Forgot that one. Whilst investigating the pulsing lever, also found I had one sticking piston. Thorough checking, each caliper one side at at time, then cleaning plus copper grease, plus tab bending, = with your brakes
