What brake discs for 05 R1?

[Mad Dave]

Evening,

I've managed to warp the OEM discs on my 05 R1 so I'm looking at replacing them with upgraded items rather than standard - any recommendations? I've looked at PFM/EBC/Brembo and they're all roughly similar money but I've no idea which is best

Many thanks

Dave

Really?! Bloody hell that's a shock.

[Mad Dave]

Cheers guys, I'll speak to Yam to see how much they're gonna hammer me for some new discs and pads!

Would you use standard pads also or uprated?

Are they really warped? or have the bobbins stuck?

No idea, I put it in for a service at Yamaha and they say they're both slightly warped, not enough to fail an mot but enough that I can feel it juddering under heavy braking. How would I 'unstuck' the bobbins?

[Mad Dave]

Cheers for all the advice chaps. I'm going to give the bobbins a damn good clean and hope that sorts it

[Mad Dave]

Update; I tried the above procedure for cleaning the bobbins and it SEEMS to have done the trick. I won't know for sure until I go for a proper ride, but the quick lap around the bypass was very promising Thanks for all the advice, hopefully it's saved me over £400
