And if you cant feel it, take the bike down your local motorcycle MOt station and thier machine will show it.
pads can cause a wheel vibration, also discs, disc bobbins, wheel bearings, and loose bolts!!
Thanks for replying Solorider , it has also been suggested that the pistons in the calipers might be sticking , they haven't been touched in the 3 and 1/2 years that I have had the bike , going to have a go at cleaning them during the winter .

Unbolt 1 caliper an remove from disc. Put something thinner than the disc between pads, I use an old chisel. Pump pistons out until pads hit the new item. Spray on some brake cleaner and clean the newly exposed piston area you can see. Push them back in evenly. Apply some red rubber grease to the seals. Refit to forks. Repeat on other side.
I used to get a juddering from the front brake it would happen as I was comming to a stop say at a junction, it would start at about 15 mph and increase as the speed fell, the only thing I can put it down to is contamination on the discs/pads when washing the bike, I used to use wash and wax, now I use a tar & insect spray followed by mr sheen polish (WD40 to remove chain lube), if it's bad I use washing up liquid and water and try not get it on the discs, I'm still on original pads and discs after 37,700 miles and use front brake only for 95% of braking.
