Ctvfr Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Have an issue regarding threshold braking…..when applying the front brakes really hard as in a panic stop or just coming down a steep hill to a stop sign - the bike wants to lean to the right at very last 10’ of travel before coming to a stop. I was possibly thinking that the L/F caliper may be in need of attention?? Pads are sufficient and even. Another rider suggested I pull the r/f caliper off and see if the l/f caliper works - it does. As it does if I reverse the test. So I kinda stumped what could be happening…. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer bmart Posted March 17 Member Contributer Share Posted March 17 You may be leaning on the right bar harder, creating countersteering, and steering right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's never a bad idea to perform some routine maintenance on your brakes. But I am very dubious that you problem is caused by one side of your front brakes being less effective than the other. From the early '70's most disc-braked bikes had so on only one side, and many current bikes are the same. If there was a significant torque reaction it would have been noticed by now.
