    I have a XJ750R and have found that the front right rotor is slightly warped in one place. This causes the brake to housing to rub in that spot. Is it possible to get the rotor turned? Yamaha said NO!

    There isn't enough material to turn the Rotor far enough down to work-out a warp.

    Your best bet would be to find a good used one ... or, ... since it's a critical safety item ... a new one.

    The trouble with used ones is you might be buying a uses warped Rotor.
    You never know until you get it and check it for true.

    Plus motorcycle rotors are extremely hard as compared to the cast iron ones used on cars. For bikes, only the pads are supposed to appreciably wear.
