Re: [ST] Brake rotors not warranty items?

[Paul Reyes <plreng23@xxxxxxxxx>]

Justin,

 I just did a rear brake job on my ST at 9,000 mi. I checked the rotor
runout and thickness and they were almost like new, very little ware.
Just for the heck of it I also checked the front rotor's. They were also
like brand new. I would check with other Triumph shops and see what they
say. If that is no joy, call or write to Triumph American and see what
they tell you.

 Hope this helps
