    front brake help needed!!

    Hey All I've got an old F2 for some track days and the front brakes were feeling kinda soft so I decided to try and bleed the front brakes. Well i got them feeling a lot better but now I have a vibration or wobble in the front wheel that wasn't there before! You can really feel it when applying the front brake. Any ideas on correcting the problem or should I just take her into a shop and let the pro's miss with her?

    bent rotor?? doesnt take much Or maybe your pads are worn un evenly or you could have a stuck piston. Take it all apart and inspect. May save yourself some $$$
    When you meet someone new why do they tend to tell you how good or fast they can ride and then wreck shortly afterwards??

    If the brakes were too soft they might have worn the pads un-evenly, have had this happen on my car. Shouldn't be anything you can't take care of with some basic tools and parts $$.
