RE: Mendocino, The Sequel: Monica, mickey, and Guth
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.

RE: Mendocino, The Sequel: Monica, mickey, and Guth
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.

VLJ, have you tried This sort of stuff.
If your brake pads are new they need to be bedded in to the rotors.
Cheers
Don't ride safe. It's boring.

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.

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!
