FRONT ROTORS KEEP GOING OUT EVERY 3500 MILES. BAD VIBRATION HARD TO CONTROL IN SOME AREAS OF ROAD. FACTORY KEEPS PUTTING THE SAME PART BACK ON MOTORCYCLE (ROTORS) WHICH LASTS ANOTHER 3500 MILES. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE ALOT OF ROTORS IN STOCK AND ARE GOING TO KEEP REPLACING THEM, INSTEAD OF FIXING THE PROBLEM --WHATEVER IT IS. I AM NOW ABOUT TO CALL THE DEALER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AGAIN 05/25/99. IT USUALLY TAKES ABOUT A MONTH OF RED TAP AND APPROVAL TO GET THIS DONE IN WHICH TIME THE BRAKES GET WORSE. ALTHOUGH I AM A VERY EXPERIENCED RIDER THIS IS GOING TO GET ME SOONER OR LATER. PLEASE HELP. *AK
