Last season my front brake rotor started to feel warped. I found the post on here about not replacing anything, but about tightening up the head bolt and everything. I printed that off and had the shop where I get it serviced do the work as described in detail. Seemed to fix the problem. Now about 3000km later its started again. Also even moving the bike around the garage I can hear the pads touching the rotor every full revolution of the front wheel. Anyone have this problem? Do you think my rotor is warped? Any ideas before taking it to the dealer?

since it is a floating rotor, check all around the perimeter to make sure it's not stuck somewhere. the bushings(?) that the rotor sits on may need replacing. just a guess. it's worth a look since it would be cheaper to replace those than the rotor.
