I just bought the bike. Its very clean for an 82 with 23k miles on it. Replaced the stator,reg/rec.and the generator cover. Its charging now. Took it for a test ride and the front brake surges with an even presser on the lever. I looked over the front rotor it doesnt look bent but I didnt measure it for wobble. Can the front brake surge due to clogged brake lines and brake caliber? I gotta order some new pads.

I would think not. My rotor (or both) got bent when my bike was improperly towed. It caused a pulsing at the lever like you described, most noticeable at low speeds. They didn't look bent either.
Regardless, it's still a good idea to fully go thru the brake systemLast edited by dorkburger; 03-08-2017, 09:20 PM.sigpic
When consulting the magic 8 ball for advice, one must first ask it "will your answers be accurate?"

I would rebuild the master cylinder. Check the fluids and you might see the reason for this condition.

my opinion shouldn't be taken as gospel or in any way that would lead you to believe otherwise (30Sep2021)

Usually caused by a warped disk, doesn't take much, sometimes the pads won't wear evenly. Though sense your brake system is fairly simple, go through the whole thing.sigpicMrBill Been a GSR member on and off since April 2002
