Bought a ZZR600
Recently bought a 2004 ZZR600. Great condition except that the rear brake seem to grab/let go continuously. It is worse at low speeds. The disk doesn't appear to be warped and the guy I bought it from said that it had been skimmed recently. The brake pedal does not "pulse" as I would expect to happen if the disk was warped. Anyone got any idea of what might be causing this?

Re: Bought a ZZR600
Doesn't seem likely but check for tension spots in the chain and chain alignment. Maybe try putting the rear up on a stand and rotating by hand as well. When My chain has been bad I can feel the resistance as I rotate the wheel, but I never felt it whilst riding.

Well done on the 600!
Not sure about the brake problem but I'd be popping it up on a stand as well. Only one way to see whats going on down there.......
Posting pics of it soon?

Re: Bought a ZZR600
The chain would be the first place to look as has been said...... Might need to overhaul the rear caliper if its not the chain.... rear brakes cop a hammering by nubes 
Oh & congrats on the new ride
