I pm’d Vince (Luddite) earlier as I have a braking sensation similar to Mr Gazza, long pulses as I brake slowly to a standstill but perfect braking at speed. New fluid at last service, and Scotchbrited the discs ...to no effect. I’ll give Mr G’s tip a try on my next outing and report back. All bobbins have some free play, a warped disc gives a more of a shudder...this is a languid “pulse”....

Well you have the advantage in your locale that you can extend the braking time by doing it going downhill..
Give the discs a good wipe all round with clutch and brake cleaner before you head out. Good luck.

So it's long slow braking from speed, the disc wants to be hot enough that you don't want to put a finger on it, some even say a gentle glow is good if they're cast iron but I think that's a bit much for a thin bikes disc but OK for a thicker car disc. There is tons written on this
