 Hard braking pulls right! Anyone else? Ideas?
I've had a couple of recent instances where I've had to brake fairly hard. I noticed that when I did, the bike pulled hard to the right. Maybe it was something that I did, unconsciously, but am wondering if anyone else has experienced this. It certainly does stop well! I'd just hope it would stop in a straight line.

It could be a warped rotor or brake pads wearing unevenly.

My RTS did that after I had new brake pads installed. Once the new pads settled in, a couple of months later (I use my brakes sparingly) the pulling to the right diminished and stopped. I’d totally forgotten all about it, until you’ve mentioned it.
If it was me, I wouldn’t worry about it. I’ve had it happen on my cars also. I’m not a brake man but I think your brakes just need breaking in.

I recommend at least one caucus 'Panic Stop' on a good, flat road surface where you have plenty of room and no danger where you can pay attention to what you are doing as well as the Spyder. If it is consistently pulling to one side, there are a few things to check.
I doubt a 'Warped' rotor in this case since you make no mention of vibration or pulsation of the brake peddle/wheel. It is more likely a sticking caliper on the weak side not doing its share. Check for even pad thickness.
A hard brake test or two under controlled conditions should verify that you do, in fact, have an issue. I would not let this go uncorrected, for obvious reasons.

Alignment is also a possibility.

I'd check your front tire pressures.

My bet would go to one brake shoe worn completely out and its grabbing on the metal backing plate. They don't always make a noise when bad.

Where can I find a repair kit for brembo front calipers?
