Anyone have any concrete advice on starting a new set of Kawasaki front pads?I installed em.Okay...went ot bed them in...ya....they're pulsing like crazy.WORSE than the other set of EBC sintered.ANY ADVICE?Thanks all!Ride safe!

I sanded the discs(with paper sanding) and resurfaced the EBC pads with a stone a week ago,hoping to smooth out my front braking performance.It helped....some.Got the new Kawi pads a couple of days ago,but tonight was the first time I took er out since installing.New pad pins in there as well.I'm a tad bummed.Thought these might be all that was needed to get er back like new.NOT.I ran several slow easy stops with the front only.Friggin thing jerked and pulsed like nutso.Okay,then figured"alright...maybe up the ante here a bit"...so did a few higher speed/strong application brake runs.Still pulsed,but not "quite" as pronounced.But still...they're not braking smooth at all.They're grabbing and stopping very well.But not smoothly. Think I should save my pennies and get a new set of rotors?An aftermarket set?I want my brake feel back!!!!!

Same problem here with my 2008 ZX14 after 12,000 miles.

I get the annoying pulsing on initial, light braking applications.

Tried the whole pin & pad removal & cleaning, sandpaper scuffing, and got no results.

My next step is to try this company for rotor straightening:

If this don't work, I am either selling the bike or getting Galfer rotors.
