Well i've no idea what is going on with my tenere.

All the callipers were fine with no stuck pots etc.

I've never ever locked up the rear wheel or used the rear brake in excess yet it's really buckled...so much that it wears down new brake pads to metal on one side in 1500 miles.

The front pads are all fine and as above have not been used in excess. I'd actually like to see anybody use the front brake to excess without going over the bars. When i first noticed the bucking i thought of stuck/rubbing callipers first but after each long ride i checked the discs for heat and they were both cold...every time.

Both the front are buckled..not really bad but enough to have me bucking under normal braking.

This all seemed to go wrong in the bad weather so maybe there is a link but maybe not?

What ever has happened has happened very quickly and is not heat related. Also i don't use a disc lock so no issues there.

I've ordered three new discs �48 each for the front OEM and �78 for a Brembo rear...not cheap but not as much as i thought.

I'll let you know how it goes.
