WAIT A MOMENT. Otk brake disks and carriers on the 2007 & 8 vairiants are prone to this problem. It is caused by small movements in the disk carrier not a bent or warped disk. The solution is to replace the carrier with a 2009 or later model which has double clamping bolts. The run out on the older carrier can sometimes be dealt with by tapping the disk at the offending point of run out with a plastic or soft faced mallett Note: do not slacken the clamp bolt!!
This problem is also made worse by an overfil of the brake resevouirs which causes brake drag. Do not fill over half way.
