Gsx1400z with only 3000km on the clock. have a problem with the back brake, in that it is very spongy. have adjusted it but seems to make no diffence. there is no leaking of brake fluid so i am at a loss. could the disc need to be machined and if so would this be covered by warranty

If it seem spongy then i would bleed the system of air. air can be compressed, fluid can not. how to bleed brakes is easy task make sure the brake fluid is topped off and located the bleeder screw on the caliper.
have someone press and depress the brake several times and hold it while you loosen the bleed screw. have them hold it firmly it will lose it firmness have them hold it and tighten the bleed screw before they let it back out.
repeat severals times making sure the fluid level is at max between bleeds
tighten the bleed screw and pump up top off fluid and you should have no spongyness
