The rear brake on my 2017 CB1100 EX dragged and discoloured the disk. Probably because I always use the gearbox to slow down, and seldom use the rear brake. An old British motorcycle habit. The pads and disk were replaced under warranty.
The dealer told me to use the rear brake more, so I tried. Unfortunately the dealer did not bleed the rear brake fluid properly and now it is almost useless. Not a problem because I only use it when slowly going downhill on gravel or sand roads.
Like most new EXs the front brake squawks when coming to a stop. I will wait until the tires need replacing to see if these cell phone droids can actually do something mechanical.
