    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I just bought the bike. Its very clean for an 82 with 23k miles on it. Replaced the stator,reg/rec.and the generator cover. Its charging now. Took it for a test ride and the front brake surges with an even presser on the lever. I looked over the front rotor it doesnt look bent but I didnt measure it for wobble. Can the front brake surge due to clogged brake lines and brake caliber? I gotta order some new pads.
 
I would think not. My rotor (or both) got bent when my bike was improperly towed. It caused a pulsing at the lever like you described, most noticeable at low speeds. They didn't look bent either.
Regardless, it's still a good idea to fully go thru the brake system

I would rebuild the master cylinder. Check the fluids and you might see the reason for this condition.

Usually caused by a warped disk, doesn't take much, sometimes the pads won't wear evenly. Though sense your brake system is fairly simple, go through the whole thing.
