oh ok i misunderstood you , you arent getting head shake youre getting a pulse from the rotors right ? ya you may have warped rotors but it could also just be as simple as you may have just bumped the rotor when you changed your pads ..

most street bikes have semi floating rotors and if you bump them good enough they will give you a the same symptem as a warped rotor , get the front wheel off the ground and spin it to see if the rotors spin true ..

some times just regular riding and braking will re align the rotor if it's not warped
