>>>the caliper is flexing because the old pads have worn a particular groove into the disc and they're not making full contact initially.
put new Brembo or better discs on the front with those new pads. Most of the time the discs on the front are worn down to barely in spec (check w/ a caliper) and can warp if they get too thin.
the rears don't wear nearly as much and thus don't need it, but I replaced the rear disc at 150k miles with the pads, and you can put slotted on the rear to help keep them from locking early (never had that problem on the 900 with the large fronts they use though)
Fronts at 120k (second pad change on those) with new discs -
then just to make sure, I pumped out all the old fluid and put NEW DOT4 in -
brake fluid does absorb water over time, and so you do want to replace it.
