There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
2010 RT-S with front end wobble after brake change - can anyone help?

You may have tightened the wheels unevenly. Loosen the lug nuts and retighten alternately a little at a time and then torque to 75 ft lbs. If it still persists you may have some debris behind a rotor that needs to be cleaned.

Does the wobble come after driving a while or is it constant?
If it comes after a while your new pads might pinch the disc a tad and get really hot, which will cause the disk to deform and create the wobble.
If it is constant, my guess is that something is not properly placed when putting wheels back on. Try taking them off and inspect, then out them back on again and see if that helped!
Best of luck.

That is unusual. Using the wrong torque procedure could warp the rotors. But this is fairly hard to do. Do you have a runout gauge to check your rotors with?

You should run at least 2 increments (we do 3) or phases on the torque process. If you torque one lug nut to full spec with the other 2 loose, that can warp your rotor.

Is the wobble all the time or just when you apply the brakes? Maybe loosen the wheels and start over on the tightening sequence! Does it feel like one side grabs more than the other? :dontknow:

So, you're saying that you can't easily spin your wheels with the brakes disengaged? You need to re-do the install if this is the case. Not a good idea to wear down a set of pads by having them constantly engaged. That will certainly warp rotors.

Interesting the brakes fit that tightly.
If mechanically the work was done correctly, and the brake system in not restricting return fluid, the question then becomes what brand brake pads did you install and where did you buy them.
Many folks are refusing to buy oem or EBC due to cost. Those folks have saved money buying from EBay and Amazon, just wondering if the new parts are simply incorrect dimensionally.
If those brakes are as tight as you explained, and you rode it, very possibly the brake discs are trashed at this point.
Regardless, all the best resolving it.

Hi everyone. I took the wheel off and checked to see if there was anything there to cause the vibration. Afterwards, I took it for a good ride and now it has a vibration when it hits 79 to 81 kmh and in the curves. It leaves when I've been riding for a long period, but as soon as I take a curve again, it comes back at 79 to 81 kmh. There's no vibration above or below that speed. It's weird, tomorrow I'm taking the wheel off and will get them to balance it to see if anything happens then.
Thank you for your help

Did you knock off a wheel weight?

Like already mentioned, check the bearings, they can cause tire wear also and a vibration when going around a curve.
Do this before getting an alignment.

Now that you know that your tires are properly balanced get tour bike laser aligned. Just had my 2018 F3-T done and I can't believe the difference in precision in steering and no push feeling when cornering!!!!
