I'm having a problem with front end wiggle when appyling the brakes at freeway speeds. My first thought was that the brake rotors were warped. I borrowed a dial indicator and stand and tried to measure the run out. I couldn't make the apparatus completely stable so I question my measurement. I understand the spec is .012. It wasn't out that much. So I don't know if it is the rotors, steering head bearings or front wheel bearings. If I need rotors, EBC? Galfer? or stock and where can I buy them online at a good price. Thanks for any and all comments or suggestions.

have you tried to see if there is any play in the head stock ?

Something else to check... Strange as it may sound, I had something similar on my last bike...turned out to be a bad tire.

I'd definitely try new brake pads before buying rotors. OEM set around $500 - $600.

Do you have a front stand ?
