I put my MSRT for it's 6k service today and told them that the vibration had come back that they mostly cured by balancing the wheels on the 1st service. Also, when it went for its 1st service I pointed out the grooving on the rotors, although nothing serious, just wanted them to make a note of it for future use.

So I just called the service dept and they reckon the vibration is due to warped rotors which kinda surprises me, but I wasn't going to argue them putting on new rotors and pads!

Never did have any squeeling of brakes so I hope they don't start now[&:] I wonder if it will be the December TSB, I'll try and remember to ask.
