The rear brake on my 2017 EX dragged from the time I bought it new. I complained, but the dealer said I must ride with my foot on the pedal. That is not true a my big feet tend to point out on this machine. I seldom used the rear brake. I gear down and then use the front brakes to stop. I prefer to have both feet off they pegs when stopping rather than having one on the rear brake pedal.
The rear brake dragging finally discoloured the disk. Honda Canada had the dealer replace the disk and pads under warranty. Unfortunately they did not bleed the rear brake properly, so now the rear brake is practically useless.
Like others my front brakes squeal just before coming to a stop. Never had either of these things happen on my CB550XA, a bike almost half the price of my EX.
