[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 882637, member: 277"] Pull the ABS fuse, if the chatter persists it ain't the ABS. Cheap 'n easy, use a mild Scotchbrite pad (or equivalent) and brake cleaner to thoroughly clean both sides of both front rotors. More work, but recommended is to very lightly clean the pads at the same time even though they are new. Contaminated rotors can mimic warped rotors at low speed. If it fixes the problem good, if it doesn't it was still good to give the braking parts a good cleaning. It isn't unheard of for a rotor to develop hard spots in the metal which also can cause these symptoms, but this is more common in cars. When a car is parked with very hot rotors and the parking brake is set the pads are pressed against the rotors as they cool can have a bad affect on the rotors in those places. Well, those are a couple of easy things to check off the troubleshooting list. [/QUOTE]
