Had both my rotors and pads replaced under waranty last Friday. They were on back order for about 10 weeks but we are talking N.F. Imports here in Oz.
When I first mentioned it to my dealer I was more concerned about the soft lever at first pull followed by a super grabby bight at the next, if I had two goes at braking for a corner. The pulsation at walking pace was of little concern because I don't ride in town.
However, during the 10 week wait I began to experience a massive shudder when braking hard at speed.
Did 500klm on the weekend. How are my new brakes? FANTASTIC!!!
Original brakes had massive instant bite when new, they were too sensitive.
I checked my old pads, they have a different Brembo part # to the new ones.
Old pads; TT2910HH 07.9882.10 (recorded on the back of the pad)
New pads; 98.5031.50 (Brembo brochure). 61340791A (Ducati part # 1098S).
The new brakes just have a very strong but progressive feel, perfect control. I locked the front several times over bumps on my Bitumen-cross track. The loud squeal from the 2CT let me know I was at the limit, gotta love'm.
Downside is, the brakes have again developed the 'pump-up' with a dual squeeze which we had originally thought was due to pad 'knock-off from the warped disc. But there is no pulsating as I stop this time.
Upside is, dealer previously suspected faulty master cylinder so that is already on back order. Keep you posted.
under hard breaking, so
