Check the suspension aligment, it might be twisted a bit, love the bike and i had an issue with the factory pads it ate the front one in 3,200 km most of them on the road, i changed them for some EBC sintered and its been another 4,700 km with no issues cheers!! Hope they find a solution its a wonderful little bike!
They have replaced mine now the second time and I did a quick 40 mile ride and it was good. But we will see when I spend a bit more time on the bike. I hope this is now sorted as its not a great feeling on the bike. Hope you can get yours sorted out too.
Hi mate, i have one with a similar problem. I hear a ticking noise when using the front brake until i get down to about 20mph, then it disappears. I mentioned it at the first service, which was today, and they said it's not enough of a problem to put a claim in haha. To be honest, i dont really feel it juddering or anything, can just hear it. Cheers!
Thanks for the feedback. Yes mine is pulsing like a disc that is warped and this is at any speed. But because you are slowing down to a stop or traffic light is just pretty annoying as the rear brake does not do it. They are now going to replace the front one again so we will see. I will keep you posted when I get the bike back. Now the next thing is that they are waiting on the parts. This is another thing. How can it be so hard to find a new disc and pads. lol
I have done about 80 miles and its been good so far. But the previous time it took a few rides to bed in and then for the problem to happen again. But I must say this time it feels better. So I hope this is now sorted. Good luck with yours. They all know about it and they do fix it under warranty.
So guys, they replaced my disk wheel under warrenty, they said they rode it for 30km and faced no issues, i just drove a 10kms and nows working fine, no jerking. Just updating you guys. FYI- They are even checking for bends in Alloy wheel too, but mine got fixed, just after switching disk wheel
Yes but this is only on the front brake for some reason. Mine was happening since I had the bike. I thought when I got it the guy that had the bike before me for the 150 miles must have used the brake so much to warp it but it feels to me like a different problem. Its going in this morning and its staying with them so we will see.
This is correct but this is now the second one. Mine was already replaced but if this was replaced with a bad disc then I hope it sorted on the second round.
@richardbowley can you link that video too? Facing the same disc warp issue with mine and they are not ready to change it under warranty. I'm following up though.
I can say that most of the dealers I have spoken to know about this problem. Its only the front one as far I understand. They replace it with a newer version so new disc and pads and all the bolts that go with it. Its a long old process as they might be able to get a replacement disc but getting the pads and the bolts take another few weeks. I am now waiting a week for them to get the spares. But the bike it with them.
I’ve seen other TH-camrs switch their original Scrambler brake pads to sintered brake pads. If the brake disk isn’t warped than it has to be pads, ABS sensor/software, brake pistons leaking, piston seals, etc.
The tyres are on the recommended pressure of 1.80 bar front and 2.3 bar at the rear. The funny thing is that the rear brake is perfect. This is also not under hard braking just normal slow down to any stop. Very weird.
this is why the bike is cheap---its crap, unfortunately, i was going to buy one but many reports of front brake issues and having to pay the dealer to reset service light is a deal breaker
The front brakes are sorted under warranty and the service light issue was fixed with a firmware update months ago. If you get one now these new bike problems should be sorted out. It is cheap and it should be spot on but sometimes they bring it to market and they are overwhelmed with the amount of people wanting it. But I must say the front brake should not have been an issue from the go. What are you looking at now?

Awesome thank you. They are now going to replace it again. It looks like the ones they replaced the first round was also not good.
I discovered this on my bike recently.
They have replaced mine now the second time and I did a quick 40 mile ride and it was good. But we will see when I spend a bit more time on the bike. I hope this is now sorted as its not a great feeling on the bike. Hope you can get yours sorted out too.
In India, there was a recall this April to replace the front brake lever (under warranty).. just sharing
Awesome thank you. Hope they will sort this out too. Will have to see but good to have the feedback. Thank you
Had that problem with an aftermarket lever,just pushing the master cylinder piston slightly, may file it back slightly

Talk about waffle, been in UK too long
Very true lol, thanks for the comment.
Hey, i got the issue too. Gonna have to replace it under warranty, hows you bike now ?

The disc is warped because I've only just gone for it's first service and I've the same issue. The brake lever pulses.
Yes but this is only on the front brake for some reason. Mine was happening since I had the bike.

@@Andre-Mostert it's a manufacturing problem. A you tube vid of Nathanthepostman said he'd got it also.

Could it be the ABS system?
I will mention this to the guys but it does not feel like the ABS is engaging but it might be the sensor playing up. Thanks for the pointer.

Nice I will mention to them to give them a heads start. Thanks again for the pointers.
A scrambler não usa pra não cravar
Qq moto tipo trail não usa
Asfalto é outra lógica
Aqui na terra dos índios a moto é excelente
Many thanks for the feedback. I only use the bike on the roads and some light gravel nothing heavy at all.
What's the tyre pressure you have on both wheels?
The tyres are on the recommended pressure of 1.80 bar front and 2.3 bar at the rear. The funny thing is that the rear brake is perfect. This is also not under hard braking just normal slow down to any stop. Very weird.
