Whats the easyest way to tell if your rear disk is warped???

I can feel the brakes application adjusting as im dragging my back brake as if I were slightly taking my foot off and re applying it again, but ive barely had the bike a month from the dealer and im sure they would have checked for this.

Maybe its a GS quirk that im not aware of... :confused:

Thats the symptoms that would show up if it was warped or out of parallel.
The only way really to make sure is to check it with a dial test indicator for axial runout on both sides of the disc.
You could also check the disc thickness with a micrometer at various places. This would show up any variation in thickness but wouldnt tell you if the disc is warped :thumb

Look at it from the rear of the bike while rotating the wheel.

Exactly - if you're not sure - hold the end of a biro against it still, and then spin the wheel.
