What pads are they? Doesn't sound as if they are bedded in yet.

like a wobble feel or judder? there may of been crap on the hub when you fitted the disc, if the disc isnt flush with the hub it will feel like a warped disc, if you have a dial test indicator you can measure the disc run out, if not then try and get something big and heavy next to the disc and spin it, if it moves away and then closer to the object as you turn it then you know its either warped or not fitted flush, also when bedding in if you get them hot then pull over/stop the part of the disc where the pad touches stays hot while the rest of the disc cools this causes the disc to warp, make sure you let your brakes cool after hard use.
