You missed two options:
  • Lived dangerously and didn't bother, until it broke down/I crashed it
  • Sold the bike -someone else's problem

The EV rotors were known to warp. Mine reached a point where they rubbed so bad on the pads just going down the road, not using the brake, they locked up the front. They were like a pretzel. The boys at MPH had the good replacements. No problem after that. Don’t ask the brand. CRS

Mine were below minimum spec due to ceramic pads and aggressive riding.

I've said it elsewhere on this forum: GG-rated for the street if you want your discs to last. Switch to HH for track days etc. Organic pads for better warmup and greater "feel" for typical road use. All in my humble opinion, of course.
