The bolts that hold the rotor to the wheel are only supposed to be used once, then discarded.

It's under warranty. Take it back (or have them come get it) and let them fix it. It could be a bad rotor.

Yea full floating rotors are pretty normal. Not all the Harley model have full floaters, some are partial floating, some are solid.

Almost all sport bikes have full floating rotors.

I can't believe that this thread has over 300 hits and nobody knows what a full floating rotor is. Amazing.

All I have to say is. It is a 2014 and under warranty, bring it in and have them check it out. If they try to charge tell them if the bike was delivered properly you wouldn't be there, and they owe you for wasting your time by performing a sloppy wheel swap.
