Try checking the float pins. I had exactly the same problem on my last blade and got a top tip from someone that used to be on here.

You'll need a nut and bolt with some washers. Put it through the float, tighten, but don't over tighten. Spray a load of brake cleaner on it and then turn it with a socket and ratchet until it moves freely. You'll need a fair bit of brake cleaner.... Repeat for all float bits... (Can't remember the official name of the floaty thing )

They get well crudded up and then the disc doesn't float properly. It's worth a try...

i thought it was that nick ,as it was juddering sticking pads ,just put new pins in mine , this is the video nick ,,, the word on the street is BOBBINS ,
,,,

Good posts, advice and video from both you guys. Well done

Bobbins all done - Do mine every service. Just on the last possible item on the 'could cause it' list before the forks have to come off. I hope not as this is getting expensive.

Please may I ask what that might be, thanks.

Note to self.... Remember for the future they're called 'Bobbins'

I'll forget and in 6 months time I'll revert back to saying 'floaty pin things'

ANY IDEA WHAT THE CAUSE WAS

[Deleted]

Yea ... The discs. The ones on were warped, the originals were warped and the two spare sets the mechanic had were also warped. Bought a fresh set and its all roses.

Whats the odds on 4 test sets of discs all being warped ??

There's a few dishonest ones on eBay selling stuff..

any body buying new discs try PFM DISCS these no bobbins to clean 50,000 miles on these discs with little wear on my 14 ,https://youtu.be/togCIjIl2U0

its so many different color depends upon the metal.

The moral of the story, Never replace old discs with second hand ones.
