KAWASAKI CONCOURS C14 BRAKE ISSUES ?

I have a 2009 C14 with only 8,000 miles on the clock and the brakes (front & rear) are acting up. Fronts are pulsing when applied so I'm assuming the rotors are at warped, both front & rear brakes squeak. When I say squeak, I mean that the brakes literally pulse/squeak, not a conventional constant squeal. Situation gets worse the harder the brakes are used as one would expect because of additional heat/friction. Awesome motorcycle except for brakes. Kawasaki numbed the brakes or the capacity of bakes to do their necessary work on such a fast, heavy bike. Any Kawasaki dealers out their with enough nuts to admit problems? Problem unacceptable to me & I'm sure there must be others with similar problems.[/b]

Did you try talking to your dealer?
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.
