Do the rotors on motorcycles warp and can they be turned as can automobile rotors? On my 2007 Street Glide when I put on the rear brake it seems to pulsate just like in a car. Will I need to replace the rotor along with the pads or can the rotor be turned. Lastly, has anyone else experienced this problem and found it to just be the pads?

That thing's 3/16" thick and you want to turn it???
I bent a rear rotor when I was changing a tire. I put it on a truing stand and with a little patience I got it running true again. This rotor was probably 1/4 out of true and it is still smooth.
Sometime's you can take a large pipe wrench on them and slightly tweak them back straight. Done with a dial indicator..Done at your own risk, gently though.
