    Front end shudder when braking

    Any body out there experiencing this problem? Dealer checked disc runout, pad wear, headstock adjust, concluded worn fork slider bushes were cause, $900 later(Aprilla refused waranty as normal wear and tear 19000KMS)?No improvement.Feeling ripped off. Looking to others to help resolve problem.
