Question Front Rotor Question...

Ive tried to fix my front rotor once before and somehow its warped again. The question i have is, is this going to keep happening if i keep trying to unwarp them, is there an easy fix, or should i just put up the cash for some new front rotors......?

a rotor warps because it's too thin and therefore can't resist flexing from heat expansion. i'm guessing you had the rotor turned (i didn't even know you could do that with bike rotors). unfortunately, that just makes them thinner, and more likely to warp from heat. so in the end, you're going to have to end up buying a new rotor.
