I had my rear rotor replaced once under warranty by the local stealer. They also replaced the pads at that time (at my cost) having one pad almost worn out and one pad only about 25% worn. Now my rotor is warped again, Yamaha said they will not replace it again because it's my fault (the stealer told Yamaha I was riding my brake) and they have not had any problems or complaint about the rotors warping. I replaced the brakes pads with a better quality pad and found that some of the pulsating went away. Also replaced the front pads and found the bike had a lot better feel to it and the brakes stopped making a chirping noise when stopping.

WELL, ALL YOUR GREAT SUGGESTIONS AND THE NICE WEATHER HERE HELP ME DECIDE WHAT TO DO. SCREW YAMAHA FOR NOW. I WENT FOR THE QUICK FIX FIRST, AND IT FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO WORK. I BOUGHT A GOOD SET OF GOOD AFTERMARKET BRAKE PADS, NOT YAMAHA, PUT THEM IN AND THE BRAKES FEELS NICE AND SMOOTH NOW. MAYBE IT WAS JUST THE PADS? I GUESS I WILL KNOW AFTER A FEW MORE MILES. THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP AND HOPE I CAN OFFER SOME SUGGESTIONS IN THE FUTURE. I'VE BEEN READING THIS FOR A LONG TIME AND MAYBE IT'S TIME TO PARTICIPATE. ONE OTHER THING, WHEN I PICKED UP MY PADS, THE AFTER MARKET STORE MADE SUGGESTION THAT I BLEED MY BRAKES FROM THE CALIPER BACKWARDS THRU THE MASTER CYLINDER TO FORCE ANY AIR OUT OF THE LINES, AND THAT MAYBE THERE COULD BE AIR IN THE LINE WHERE IT GOES BY THE PIPES AND IT COULD EXPAND WHEN IT GETS HOT AND FORCE THE CALIPER OPEN AND HEAT THE ROTOR. MAKES SINCE TO ME, I THINK.

I did stop by the dealer on the way home from work tonight and gave him some of the suggestions you guys gave me. I'm not sure how much of it they took in but he did say he would like to look at it and see if I might have a bent axel. I again asked him why yamaha would not warranty this and the response was that they talked to yamaha and the yamaha rep and they both said that they were not going to cover this because they fixed it once already yet the rep has never looked at my bike only talked to the dealer over the phone. The dealer did say, as goose stated, that if I took it apart it would viod any chance of getting any warranty on it. Has anybody else had this problem dealing with yamaha warranty or do any of you wise yamaha people have any suggestions or yamaha factory contacts that could help me?

Rear Fender Chrome Tip (HELP)
djr replied to Cougar's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
rear fender for RSV STR-1D626-92-00 This came out of the 08 Yamaha accessories and apperel book. Hope it's what your looking for. -
Some great suggestions here, I think I will throw some of these thoughts at the stealer this weekend when I stop in to see him. They were suppose to call me back after Bike Week to discuss my problem but I guess they forgot again. After they tell me again that they won't honor the warranty, 5 years-unlimted mileage, I think I will start off with the upgraded brake pads and inspect the rotor and old brake pads to see how they are wearing. If I purchase a repair manual will that have the torque specs that I need for the rotor? I see why you people make the big bucks, this is really some great help.

I agree, If I rode the brake or rested my foot on the pedal I would overheat the rotor and cause the damage but I do know the difference between the brake pedal and the floorboard.As far as rust, the rotors look like new, no rust at all. Any other thoughts? I am open for anything.

New here so I hope I can get a little help on this. I have a 05 RSV and I am having problems with the rear brake rotor pulsating. It first starting showing up around 4500 miles. It took the dealer until about 11500 miles until they replaced it under warranty. Now with 14500 miles on the bike the rear brakes are pulsating again. I brought it back to the dealer and they are telling me that they will not replace it under warranty again saying it's my fault because I am riding the rear brake. I find that almost impossible because of the position of the brake pedal. And yes, I even had the dealer, I see why there called the stealer, replace the brake shoes and the tires. I'm not new to this riding stuff, being doing it for about 40 years now. Any body able to offer any help on this?
