    New front discs issue TL1000R

    I've just had new front discs (new pads done at the same time) put on my TLR. I noticed that they seemed to have a bit a warp from day one, but thought this must be normal - so I continued on them, going easy on them and slowly starting to build up the amount of pressure that I used on them (never slamming the brakes on). After 800km of this they still have a noticeable warp. Is this normal? Or should I take it back to the shop and get it checked out? Thanks for any help

    No its not normal,you need to get someone to check the runout on the discs
    Suzuki will have a measurement of max runout
    As long as you brought genuine parts,they should be under warranty
    Depends how good your eye is,but if you jack up the front wheel & spin it,look directly down the disc I see if it is warped

    If you mean pulsing at the lever then for sure,go back to the shop.

    The carrier's are made of cheese so run out measured off the rotor is debatable...Not to mention the bellville washer's being non consistant and they are semi floating.

    Are they Aftermarket jobbies or OEM?

    Aftermarket - brand is Metal Gear. The discs are under warranty, so i'll take it back to tss and get them to check it out. The pads that were put on came with the discs, made by the same manufacturer.
