My 2008 C14 also had the front brake pulsation, and after reading this post, I took my bike to the Kawi dealer. Told them there was a "recall" or a "known issue". They argued with me that they kept up with all recalls and they had never heard of any such thing on the Concours. They asked me where I had gotten my info from and when I told them on the Connie forum, they gave me the old 'eye-roll' and said they would check it out.
They called me the next day and said they got the okay from Kawasaki to replace the rotors but not the pads. My question, kdm, is how do you know they replaced yours with 2011 rotors? It seems that rotors for 2008 and 2011 DO have different part numbers.
When I asked my dealer if he was replacing them with the 2011 models, he said "oh no, we can't go changing parts from different years - that'll void your warranty".
So, if he put the same rotors from the "problem" years, am I to expect the same problems in the near future?
Anybody who has had experience with these issues, please chime in...
