Help please !
Brakes works perfectly fine all the way between 210km/h and 10 miles per hour. But when I slow down in front of a traffic light, just before coming to a stop, my front wheel brake sounds like T.Rex on a hunt. Grannies jump of the curb, dogs howl, and my Honda shop says, "this it hard to come by, ... may be a little Aluminum grease ever couple of days, and right after every rain shower."
Excuse me ? How many Honda/s have been cruising our streets and making this awful noise ? None ! I haven't seen any in the past 30 years while admiring these beauties on wheels.
Any technical hint, answer, suggestion more then welcome. What am I gonna tell this Honda shop when they suggest again to carry a grease can to feed this dinosaur ?
Thanks you!

j3gq, if your bike is a 2017 EX, start here,

Secondly, does it really travel at 210 km/h? Has it had the ECM reflashed? I was under the impression that all CB1100s came from the factory speed limited to 180 km/h.

Sadly, (+1) on the 180.

I am sure you are right when it comes to the ECM specs, no mods on my bike. When I tried a nice straight of German motorway (safely, I promis) I didn't notice anything strange when the speedometer went past 180.

The "strangeness", I believe, happens on North American CB1100s.

I'm pretty sure it happens on Australian ones too and I recall some reports from the UK that it happened there as well.

Clarity: I was referring to the "180 km/h strangeness". (speed limitation)
