SERVICE BRAKES

1 complaint

BRAKES BECAME WARPED AT AROUND 5500 MILES. THIS IS EXTREMELY LOW MILES FOR BRAKES TO WARP. IT CAN BE FELT WHEN SLOWING FROM INTERSTATE SPEEDS WHEN EXITING THE INTERSTATE. BIKE IS LESS CONTROLLABLE, HANDLE BARS WOBBLE, AND THE BRAKING IS LESS. PER THIS BIKES SPECIFIC FORUMS, NEWER KAWASAKI CONCOURS 14S HAVE THIS ISSUE.THERE ARE MANY "THREADS/POSTS" OF THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE THAT ITS VERY DANGEROUS. AND ALTHOUGH MY BIKES BRAKES WARPAGE IS LIGHT NOW - IT WILL CONTINUE TO GET WORSE, AND AT THIS TIME THE DEALER DOESN'T THINK ITS AN ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THEY COULD FEEL IT WHEN THEY TEST DROVE IT. I THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH THE WEIGHT OF THE BIKE AND THE QUALITY OF THE OEM BRAKE PADS/ROTORS (BRAKE SYSTEM). *TR
