Does the extended warranty cover rotors?

[Organdonor]

I'm on the first Kawi extended warranty on my 09 C14 ABS purchased new in 2011. I go through replacement batteries every two years, but I know they aren't covered. Are rotors? My front brakes are pulsating, and I suspect the rotors, as I replaced the pads last year and that didn't fix it.

Are the rotors covered under the extended Kawi warranty?

The short answer is yes.  there are several methods to reduce pulsing.  Use search to find them but freeing the rotor buttons, Scotchbriteing the rotors is another that are cost free and many people have done them with varying success.  I had the same issue and did both but found that the original pads (especially on earlier models) tended to create a buildup on the rotors that caused pulsing.  I changed to EBC pads and bedded them in vigorously and most of it is gone now.

Jer's info is good.  It is often (perhaps usually) the rotors are not damaged.  But if so then  http://www.zggtr.org/index.php?topic=4376

They replaced both of my fronts without me asking.  Tech took my bike out for test drive after replacing a defective TPMS and said "man that thing needs Rotors"-I just laughed and told him I was going to ask abt that next.  They measured them and of course they were out of spec and he immediately ordered me up a set.  All covered under extended warranty.

When you get the new rotors, make sure you release the brakes after coming to a stop, especially if running thru the twisties- the calipers are powerful and the pad residue (dust) gets baked onto the rotors, creating a high spot and  pulsation. ScotchBrite will remove it, also.

I hope this is not a stupid question, but can somebody explain me in short what's this ScotchBrite?

very useful and a lighter less aggressive version of a pan scrubber

Brand name of 3M that covers more than one product, but it is typically a scrubbing/scouring pad usually made with a  plastic abrasive on one or both sides of a sponge.  Since plastic is softer than metal, glass, ceramic, laminate, it will not scratch them when using them for cleaning.  (But there are versions with metal inclusion that would scratch)

Actually the preferred shop type pads are MORE abrasive than pot scrubbers, which do little to clean a rotor, like the green ones in the food store...

The better grades like this

Are impregnated, and do work well, both the gray and maroon colors work well, I have stick on pads that I use on a sanding disk in my drill, to clean aggressively, and in a rotary non directional pattern... this, followed by a good brakekleen spraydown and air blast, works very well..
I also recondition discs with my random orbital sander, with a foam pad, and 120-180 grit emory paper, in the same manner, and it does well also, it does not remove metal so to speak, but it does scrub the offending adhered pad materials of nicely, and spray down after with brakekleen again..
