The front brakes on my 2017 CB1100 EX do the same thing all the time. I rode my CB500XA over 33,000 kilometers/20,500 miles over three summers, and the brakes never squealed.
The rear brake on the EX also dragged and the rear disk discoloured from heat. The disk and pads were replaced under warranty, but still drag. Worse than that the rear brake is now totally useless probably because the dealer did not bleed the brake fluid properly.
My CB500XA cost less than half of what my 2017 CB1100 EX does and was considered a "budget bike" by the press. So what does that say about the quality of the EX and its lousy brakes.
