In the thread title, it states "new 11.5# brake rotor"
Well, the "#" is a pound sign for weight.
Congrats on your new brake rotor.
Be sure to clean the swept surface before you put pads on it. Isopropyl alcohol works well for this. Get the 99% stuff.
Lastly, whatever you do, DON'T change pads to another compound. (Unless you want a vibrating lever or rotor that does not have smooth braking action.)
Because, no, it isn't a "warped" rotor likely. And even if it could have been "warped", it'll still brake smoothly, because the distance between the swept surface doesn't change, unless you change the pads maker mid stream and the rotor surface has "build-up" from the previous pad compound. Then, yes, it'll certainly change and you'll have the "brake vibration."
