the shakes aren't severe. in fact it's very subtle but just wondering what's causing it and if it's normal. regular braking there's no shake. it shook when i had to slow from 40mph to 0 in 3+ seconds.

Are the floater pins on your rotors corroded up or dirty?
Have you recently cleaned and degreased with brake clean both rotors?
Sometimes pulsation is caused by a uneven or unequal layer of brake pad material attached to the rotor.
It could be any of the things above, I just wanted to toss another option into the mix.

100 bucks says its your lower tripple tree has lossened up.
Pull the bars off, remove the large chrome nut and pull the upper tree. Then take a spanner wrench and tighten up the nuts that pull the lower tree into the frame. While your at it, go ahead and pull the lower tree out. Clean and re-grease the bearings if needed.

Hello from the UK...
Sorry to dig up an old post but I wondered if anyone could expand on tightening lower tree on FZ6?
I have been searching archives to work out what is causing slight clonk through bars when pulling up sharp (I dont really feel until quite slow and release the brake a little)
I have had head bearings replaced as I thought it was them with tapered type (within last 2k) and are pretty confident that its not them and fork oil replaced with 15w around same time.
It definately feels like its around the area of the head bearings/lower tree so when I saw this post I thought this would be worth a try... is it as simple as it sounds in this post - pull bars, remove large nut and pull of the top yoke? do I need special tools to tighten these bolts? I'm not scared to pull apart but would rather only do it once so if I need something specific then i'll sort that first?
Anyone have any other ideas if it isnt this?
Cheers
Lee
