Default Rotor Warpage

I found out that my new/used front rotors that I received w. wheel purchase have slight warpage (enough to push brake pistons back and affect braking). Can the stock rotors be turned or resurfaced like car rotors? If not, what should I get for my F4i? EBC rotors are $182 per plus shipping.

I have my old set. How do I check them for damage (trueness) before mounting them and doing the spin test?

Anyone know if M/C rotors can be turned/ resurfaced (as the Haynes manual states)?

Ok, WTF. I talked to the dealership that I bought the wheels from who reminded me that they are floating rotors. Now how do I tell if the rotors really are warped or if the part that floats is mal-adjusted?

Is is OK to drench the assembly in brake cleaner?
