New track bike weird feeling on the brakes

Hey guys,

I bought a gsxr750 track bike from this forum back in August when I moved here.

Since I was coming with a shoulder injury due to an accident I couldn't ride until today that I took it in a closed road to try my shoulder.

So when I started to ride it and I was on the breaks really soft I felt movements on the front, but after I was warming the brakes the feeling started to minimized. I had the gsxr600 back in Spain and never felt that.

The bike was stopped for months... Any ideas? Break disks? To be honest I didn't have a brembo pump either before and I felt how that pump help on the breaks...

Any bike shop in San Jose that can pick up the bike and do a general check?



Thanks

What do you mean by "movements".

Has the bike been properly serviced to include fresh brake fluid?

To be honest it's difficult for me to explain it in English, I feel like I can loose the front wheel.

The guy who sold me told me the bike was ready to ride.

I would appreciate if someone tells where I can bring it to do the proper service.

Lots of great shops in the area, where exactly are you so we can send you to one nearby that knows race bike setup.

"ready to ride" may mean a lot of things to different riders. First thing to do is do a complete brake service (fluids, check pads/cables, etc).
