1 on Ebay for £80, and a slightly iffy looking one on 'Fazerspares' that's been repaired, with an icepick by the looks of it. 

Just for the record, i saw this yesterday whilst looking something up........

If it's a trickle charger it will do just that, it won't hurt leaving it on at all as the charger will just back off when it's fully charged.


I have a whole battery room at work full of all kinds of batteries, it's 'extremely' unlikely to get a charger these days that will just blatantly cook one.

I would SERIOUSLY consider reading about my troubles a few posts down on the forum, titled  "FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS / BRAKE JUDDER"

Are the SBS pads that you're talking about the ceramic ones ?

See those yellow lines?
Don't park near my bike........ 

UPDATE:
I can only describe my ride into work this morning as 'perfect'.
No hint of judder at all, lovely smooth braking.
A Foccers dream......
I'm a happy man 
 

Yeah, the ones i took off were more floating than the OEM's, you could move them by hand.


I'll see how it goes tomorrow, but the fact that i've got rust on pots which will likely need renewing, plus the cost of seals, etc, i think i'll look for a fully working 2nd hand caliper in good nick.


It'll give me a spare to play with in my own time as well.



The other side was working really nicely.


As much as i like working on the bike i simply don't get the time to do it because i'm on call for work at weekends, so i need the easier and quicker fix.


Thanks for the advice again.

That's exactly what i was thought earlier.


But, shouldn't the disc be central in the caliper? How can it drift to the right side?


If the pots on the right have seized, fair enough they'll just stay put, but why should the ones on the left go that far over, because surely the disc can't physically move over because it's bolted down in a fixed (central) position??


 

Okay then, the latest news is that the near side caliper appears to have two sticking pots on the same side, and on closer inspection one of them has also formed a bit of rust, which i'm a bit surprised at because they are fully red rubber greased up whenever i clean them, which is about twice a year.
I ride 5 days a week, every week, and i'm wondering if it's just had water settling on those two pots when the bike's on the side-stand at work when it rains? Or maybe salt damage from gritters (just a thought)


Anyway, when i looked at the caliper the pots on one side were pushed out much more than i've ever seen before, but hardly at all on the other.
You can see in the photo that the pads are not central at all, so i'm 'guessing' that the disc was being pushed from one side only and not both sides, and that is what's causing the 'juddering' effect?


Luckily the discs weren't being pushed hard enough to touch the actual caliper body, otherwise that could have got messy.
I won't know without stripping them down but i can only imagine there to be a bit of rust on the pots that i can't see internally as well.
They've always cleaned up okay in the past and moved in and out freely before i've greased them up so i'm a bit disappointed this has happened to be honest.


I put the OEM discs back on, and cleaned up the pots as much as i could, before greasing them up again, and i treated the calipers to some new pad pins as well, but i can't see it lasting too long so i think i'll get another left caliper anyway.
The right caliper was functioning perfectly, and very evenly, but i cleaned that up as well while i was at it.
The pads were still in very good, clean and flat condition, they looked almost new.


I never got a chance to try it out today as i've had a very busy day off, so i'll let you know the outcome tomorrow?

Thanks for all your input and advice, it was very much appreciated!

"Random's" not a word i would've used to be fair!
I had what i thought was a simple problem and i reacted accordingly, almost by the book.
I started with the obvious and worked my way up.
My bike has been to a few mechanics, and even they've scratched their head?
Which is why i've  decided to share my issue countrywide, in the hope that one or more of you nice people can help me out!
This is no joke to me now, i've spent a lot of time and money on this problem and it's kinda peeing me off as you can imagine, if i knew what was wrong i'd have got it sorted ages ago.
I know there's some clever Foccer out there that may be able to help me out!!

TWO sets of forks, exactly same problem, even i can't be that unlucky?


And i am extremely careful when sanding discs, by hand, and because you are getting rid of previous brake markings you can easily see what is going on.


I use aluminium oxide paper, in small circular movements, I tried Garnet paper before but it wasn't quite man enough for the job.


Next time i do it i'll post a photo.


Once they're back on they feel like glass for a few miles, and feel perfectly straight with no judder at all.


I kind of savour the moment every time i take the bike out after they've been done.
