You can check the wheel bearings by jacking up the front end and
gently rocking the wheel and tire. You are trying to feel if there is any
movement. Very little to none is what I prefer. If your discs are warped
you may be able to visually see it, if not you need to use a dial indicator.
If you have had any brake work done recently, recheck all that work
just in case something was overlooked. Also check the rubber brake lines.
If they are old and look cracked, they are expanding when you apply the
brakes and are causing the problem. Replace them, I use Stainless Steel
flex lines on my Tiger.

Thank you for the input.
Seems like a rear end problem. I4ll look in to it.
The EBC4s are very good, for the first time ever I4ve been able to lock the
front wheels.
If it is the wheel bearings, will I feel it if I push the pedal lightly as
with a warped disc ?
