Nothin' wrong with that. Its obviously a 'slotted' rotor.

KRAM, pull one of your wheels off and get a look at how the sensor wires run. If the rotor with a new pad is cutting the sensor, something isn't installed right. I thought that *maybe* a rotor could be so worn that the edge might skim a sensor, but a new pad has a thicker surface than the rotor has depth.

Here's a couple images that may or may not help the discussion.
New and old pads:


I just happened to have some parts laying around and set them together (not fully installed). You can see how the worn pad (lower) lets the rotor cut the sensor. Upper-new pad it isn't going to happen.


Hopefully that is not just more confusing.
