Brake pads might be low and you're riding clutch when you should either give it more gas or let go of the clutch already. If you're still on the clutch with little gas then it'll pulse.

the pads on the back side of the rotor wear faster then the visible side.. did you check the pad behind the rotor?

Another vote for pads. 06red, it could have been some material scraping that basically was grinded away (ground away?). Also, it could have been debris that was cleared, too.
