it has 3 lines worn into the actual rotor. Ive only had this bike for 4 weeks now, the rotor was like this when bought. 3400 miles.

sounds like it picked up some dirt.

unless it's below the minimum thickness (4.2 mm ? )

ride with it. The pads will wear to match the grooves.

becareful of those bolts when you swap it out. apply some pen oil to the threads and allow it to soak in.

The best stoppin car I ever had had rotors with deep grooves in them. Once the pads wore into those grooves that thing would dang near do a stoppie..

I have one I'll sell you for less than half that price if you are interested.

It is a stock rotor no issues at all. I got one with holes drilled in it so I have an extra. I will post a pic later.

Hahahahaha. Cars are a different story though. You need to refinish them and you get the squeeking noises.

If you really think you need a replacement, hey go ahead and do it. Can't put a price on peace of mind ;D ;D
