    Warped Discs

    Just had my GS serviced, they confirmed that the front discs are a little warped and that is not going to get any better.

    Checking back through the service history (Previously owned by a guy who keep everything and I mean everything) I found out that this will be the 3rd set of front discs it will be chewing on shortly. Bike is on 02 plate and 51K on the clock.

    New BMW front discs will cost out at about £450+ and the theory goes that they will also warp again. It has been suggested that I should look at getting some good quality pattern discs instead as they are cheaper and will last at least as long.

    Anyone else had similar issues and found a good solution?

    Found this article through a link on the GS forum that is quite interesting if a bit too informative.
