But if you read above, now that i've done this mod and the pads are in a solid position, i'll try a 'clean' set of discs again and i'm hoping it will sort it. The pads were rocking quite a bit, which is apparently wear and tear, and now they're not.
I should have a new set of pad pins tomorrow too, as the old ones had a slight groove forming from the rocking pads.
This has been going on for ages, and the ONLY bike i've ever had issues with brakes, which is a shame 'cos it's a fantastic bike otherwise?
By the share fact whatever it is has a deposited it's self on the disc/s can only get from either the disc tearing up the pad or the pad tearing up the disc or something being thrown onto the disc. If you are using cheap pads/discs or fake quality parts it's very likely you can get deposits, again normally you notice a serious drop in performance long before and deposits. The caliper/s could be causing the pads to bind on the disc that said providing you are using quality disc/pads you will not get deposits in normal use you will get a loss of drive and brake fade long before deposits. Blue spot calipers and the later gold spot radial calipers are second to none many track day fans and club racers dump the standard calipers on their CBR's, XZR's, GSXR in favour of blue/gold spots. Post some picture of the deposits and the pads and we can go from there.
