Discs

Here is one for you to ponder.

My Tenere has three warped brake discs.

No sticking calipers.
No rubbing pads.
No heavy handed/footed riding.
No abuse other than normal road riding.

I took everything aprt and could not find a single fault.

The only thing that sticks out is that they all went wobbly within 2 weeks of each other. This was during the very wet few weeks we had in the UK. I was riding in heavy rain almost everyday.

I have ordered new discs as i can't handle doing the funky chicken every time i want to slow down.

Any ideas?

How old is the bike?
Still in warranty?

Sounds strange to me.

All the same age etc etc same amount or dirt etc and lots of water ........ for the sake of a nut and bolt and half hour with a wratchet its worth a try

+1 for stuck or sticky bobbins on the discs. You only need one to have seized on an individual disc to through things out and create a juddering problem. The effects can be magnified further if the calipers, pins, piston etc are sticky and corroded too. If the bobbins are stuck through corrosion, then the moving parts of the caliper are likely to be in the same or similar condition. All this is not unusual on a bike used through a wet winter.

I very much doubt that all three discs have warped.

All three are warped..i know..i've checked.

The idea of the font and the bobbins makes sense but what about the rear..this is not floating and bolts straight to the wheel hub.

I just think that riding 70 miles a day almost every day for months and months in all that rain and crap has exposed a bit of a weakness. Not many other Teneres get the use and expose to the constant wet that mine did.

Most seem to be tucked up when it rains or cleaned within a inch of their lives if the get wet/muddy.

Discs

I run on average 200k a day in all sorts of weather in the mountains carrying a very heavy payload.Typhoons and all. Winter is like borrowdaIe and summer is like the amazon.
park my bike 5 metres away from the ocean outside.never clean it. Take it off road during the weekends. Drop it crash it bend it. Change my own tyres with the disks on the ground. If there warped, I haven't yet noticed.
