Try moving the pads in or out too.
I'd actually suggest not doing this -- it implies a "death squeeze", and Avid's hate a death squeeze (you know, that's that overly-agressive squeeze some folks give their brake levers to "stretch the cable"... it's enough to wreck an Avid caliper).

Always stick with Avid's instructions for recentering -- they work, and there is no need to deviate.

I'm with concernicus and catatonic on this one: sounds like nothing to worry about if it's happening in turns, but double check your QR tension all the same. What fork you running? An 8" rotor is going to show any fork flex better than a smaller rotor.
