    But he is a puss. He does not ride in the rain. He rides for an hour and spends two cleaning it.

    Every time we get someone to scream that they hate white wheels, an 8-spoke gets its wings.

    white wheels on motorcycles make no sense, was designed by some sadistic Japanese designer from the 80s/90s. Must have had an OCD too, I have a bike with white wheels, when the time comes, I am gona go with a tasteful gold colour. Anyway, do the original posters rotors have a lip on them, ie high hat? Might be time for a brake over-haul, force pistons out, take seals out, clean all the groovy areas etc, you get the idea. Cleanliness is next to godliness with all this stuff,

    I'm going to have to search for anti-white wheels threads to maximize the entertainment value introduced here.

    FIXED!! It was the right fork seal leaking down the back of the fork onto the caliper. Cleaned everything up and took a spin. No more pulsing or squeaking. Headed to the shop this evening to have the forks done.

    Glad to hear that your persistence paid off, Y2K. Consider getting new seals and fluid in your forks before [a] the left seal goes and makes another mess, and your right fork leg goes up and down too many times with not enough cooling/lubing fluid and damages the hard parts inside it.
