When I spun the rear wheel the other day while cleaning and lubing the chain, I didn't notice any brake drag. It definitely doesn't squeal, either.

I now have a warranty-repair appointment at my local dealer scheduled for next Thursday.

VLJ I absolutely agree with you. The remedy I was suggesting to you is a common practice for squealing brakes, but I didn't make use of it on my bike because squealing stopped after about 1300 km.

One thing that I had noticed is that slow speed ( just before coming to total stop ) breaking , occurred mostly when the handlebars was turned right.

I make very normal use of my brakes. Tried to break theme easily at first km's. In the beginning the rear was like it was not excited but now has a very nice feeling and it's very effective especially inside turns.

So I'm very curious to hear what you Honda mechanics are going to suggest, especially when they understand that " change your breaking style " is not an acceptable answer.Dodgy

VLJ, have you tried [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=11912&pid=189300#pid189300]This sort of stuff.

If your brake pads are new they need to be bedded in to the rotors.

Cheers

I guess I didn’t take my service guy’s advice as a solution. I took it as part of the process of finding a solution. I’m glad I have a service department that is working to help me.

LOL I've been out of the loop for a few days. The things I miss when I'm gone.

It was pretty cool, catching up with you while checking out the ocean together.

Been a while since I've been there. I've driven in and sailed in but never biked in. The time has come! Thanks for the report!
