Disc brake rotor on the front left warped, causing a shuddering/shaking under braking. The rotor was replaced under warranty with another oem rotor. No further problems with brakes, but have not accumulated as many miles as the first failure.
Disc rotor is warped beyond usability, manufacturer denies responsibility in supplying a replacement. Motorcycle is unsafe to ride at low speeds due to this defect.
I have two such vehicles. The front brake rotors have warped on both vehicles at 10,000 to 12,000 miles. One vehicle had rotors replaced under warranty. The second vehicle was refused warranty as it was more than two years old. The warranty period was advertised as three years. The rotor warpage issue is a safety issue, irrespective of mileage or age.
