It can take some time. 4-8 weeks in my experience. It happened to me once, and I never ran with stock pads on the track after that. The dealer was pretty clueless about the problem. They told me I needed a new set of tires, and I told them it wasn't the tires. Interesting how everybody wants to sell you tires the first chance they get. Anyway, a pad manufacturer suggested sanding the surface of the rotors with an orbital sander to get rid of the uneven deposits, but I didn't try that. Another approach would be to mount the RS19s and let them remove the stock deposits. Also, are you sure you didn't use your hand brake after your session on the track? That can warp your rotors indeed.
