Brake Rotors
Let me ask if any of you guys have had worped break rotors covered under the extended warranty. We just got a new service manager at the dealership - the old guy had been there 20 years and was my bud - so when i ask about the them being covered - all three are worped he just said "they are a wear itema and not covered" understand brakes are a ware item but to me worped is not wear. Ideas?

Warped rotors aren't usually due to a manufacturing defect. Brake heat cycles/usage and using them as fulcrums for prying back the pads and pistons during service are the usual culprits. Unless you could show me they were manufactured wrapped, I'd say no to getting them replaced under warranty too. Just my opinion, YMMV.

He was also happy to charge me $45 (.5 hr) to check them because they were not out of spec (barely)
So I dont know if there's a difference in coverage between standard warranty and extended service contract on this issue.

I had mine replaced on the ESP. The dealer shop initially told me they didn't do warped rotors but I had read here some do. So I called HD and they said there was a runout spec and a thickness spec that if both were met they would replace. I knew mine were beyond the runout by checking at home before I brought the bike in. The run out has been mentioned, sorry I don't remember the thickness spec. It was my second set of stockers, the first ones I bought and put on, so I went with HD floaters. So far so good since this last summer and about 4K miles or so.

I dont know about *extended* warranty, but a runout spec *does* exist (.08), my dealer would have been happy to replace them under the standard warranty if they were out of spec.

Yep, that's an example of a manufacturing defect and they should be replaced. But I'd think you'd be complaining pretty soon after buying the bike or installing the rotor.
