09 Stella Front Brake Vibration

Post by thumbuddy »

I have begun to get an occasional front brake vibration/resonance when applying the front brake. Scoot has about 680 miles. Any thoughts on the cause?

I read on StellaSpeed that my problem could be a shuddering fork due to a loose headset. Any thoughts on this and how tough is it to tighten the headset, or I can take it to the dealer under warranty.

Mine had a loose head set and would vibrate when coming to a stop.

Get the dealer to torque it up for you. It sounds like yours was not prepped properly (as neither was mine)

I've got the same thing. I'll mention it at my next service. You guys are often tipping me off to things that I haven't yet found the right words to express. Love this forum!
