I'm intending on replacing the rotors with new aftermarket ones (Arashi I think).

I've just replaced the pads on the old rotors with new ones. They have about 700 motorway miles on them at the moment. Is there any issues with reusing these pads, or should I replace them as well?

Did the warranty claim not go through?
I'd re-use the pads, cant see what the problem, they're virtually brand new.

The runout on the discs was too much. I could argue it if was close to the tolerance level, but as it was way off no point

I need to have a read of the terms and conditions of my extended warranty at some point, at the time of purchase of the warranty I wasn't made aware of any restrictions re mileage. The bike is a tourer, it can be expected to have covered reasonable mileage, 31k is nothing. The US C14's are apparently covered under warranty (extended) for a far greater term than ours and some of their bikes as we know have done 100k miles. I wonder what the cut off point is for a warranty claim on mileage.

Good point Steve.
The question that needs answering is why we have not got parity with the USA warranty ?

Hah, we get less warranty because we live in rip-off Britain. We also pay way more for the bike in the first place, pay way more for petrol and on average we earn less.

Crappy day at the office compounded with 9 miles of filtering to the Dartford tunnel and a whole horde of dozy ****wits trying to kill me by phoning the missus whilst driving a 2 ton vehicle,.... badly. I want that truck they had on Mythbusters last week. >:D
