REAR BRAKE ROTOR IS A TWO PART SEMI-FLOATING DISC BRAKE ROTOR. OUTER RING OF REAR BRAKE ROTOR, WHERE BRAKE PADS ENGAGE ON THE DISC, HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY LOOSE FROM THE CARRIER UNIT OVER TIME. DURING THE 7500 MILE SERVICE THE TECHNICIAN INSTRUCTED ME TO WARRANTY CLAIM THE ROTOR FOR REPLACEMENT. DEALER HAS ORDERED PART AND TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE REPLACEMENT ROTOR IS A DIFFERENT PART NUMBER THAN WHAT IS ON BIKE AS DELIVERED FROM THE DEALER FOR THIS MODEL YEAR. IS THIS BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOTED SOME ISSUES THAT ARE UNKNOWN TO MOST OWNERS OF THIS MODEL MOTORCYCLE? *TR
