I contacted Kawasaki Uk and Simon Chitty called back to say he has spoken to dealer and the official answer is fair wear and tear! I have asked if they can email this to me so I can keep as a record (will let you all know if this happens). K Uk say my bike is due a brake service at 4000 miles sorry inspection so I have to book it into dealer. Why oh why did I pay for an extended warranty!!! 

Should have noticed bike is a 2011 Model purchased April 2013 on a 13 plate as new!

Model (e.g. A9f)
Year:2011
Colour:Green
Where purchased: Aberdeen
Mileage:3800
Under warranty:Yes
Problem description:Front Brake disc scoring and excessive wear
Dealer response: Wear & Tear
Dealer name:Shirlaws
Cost of repair:
Other notes: Not letting this go awaiting reply from Kawasaki UK

I am having the same problem on a 2013 bike bought in April with only 3800 miles on the clock and the dealer is saying wear & Tear or it may be corrision, I clean the bike and brakes (brake cleaner) as it's a known problem they should do something about it! Service manual says nothing about stripping the brakes and doing anything to the discs.

Thanks for all your replies, I will name the dealer if they don'tcome through with the goods soon!
I have added a couple of pictures to show use my issue.

Hi All,

I bought a GTR1400 new in April this year, I now have 3800 miles on the clock and my both front discs have scored badly and my pads are nearly worn through, as most of my miles are motorway I approached the dealer about the issue and was told that it's wear and tear has anyone else had the same issue?

Cheers,

Gary
