I would lean towards the rotor being warped also

Update ....

Well she made the ride from Sarasota to West Palm ok. Sent her a adobe.pdf copy of the thread and talked about it Friday evening.

Turns out that "Angel" left out a pretty key fact about when thesurge started.Afterthe Thunder By the Bay rallylast weekend she forgot to remove the caliper lock from the scoot (no reminder cord). When the road rat returns from the other coast I will check the runout on the rotors. I am pretty sure I will find the right side bent.

Thanks to all.
