Front brake pulsation on 2018 rocket 3

[WAYNETET]

From day 1- brand new- the front brakes seem to pulsate at all speeds, especially higher ones. Any thoughts?

How many miles? I'm no expert, but I'd check the ABS sensor or see if the rotor is somehow warped.

I bought it with 50 miles on it. It has been that way from the start.

How do I check the ABS sensor? I never had a bike with ABS before. Is it normal for them to pulsate on all braking?

Maybe @DEcosse can help with how, but what you describe is what I feel when the ABS kicks in on my '14 R3T. It is NOT normal unless the front tire is about to lock (i.e. you brake too hard).

That's what I thought. It is still under warrantee but the closest dealer is about an hour away. I may have to bite the bullet and drop it off.

The sensor itself is pretty robust - any problems are more likely to be in the ABS Pulsar Ring (the toothed disc that the sensor looks at) - check both front and rear for any issues, either warped or bent or missing teeth.
Could also be slightly tweaked brake rotor - rotate the wheel and see if any of rotors makes contact with pad at anywhere in its rotation.

Then I would definitely have it checked out. Please share what you find out.

I'll let you know what it was when it gets resolved. Thanks
