NHTSA Complaint #10639615 — 2006 HONDA ST1300A

AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKES AND RESUMING, THE MOTORCYCLE HAD A NOTICEABLE DRAG. I GOT IT THE REST OF THE WAY HOME AND THE REAR BRAKE ROTOR WAS EXTREMELY HOT. I PUT THE MOTORCYCLE ON THE CENTER STAND AND TRIED TO TURN THE WHEEL AND I COULD NOT TURN THE REAR WHEEL BY HAND. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND CONCLUDED IT WAS CAUSED BY THE SECONDARY MASTER CYLINDER LOCATED ON THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE CALIPER. I AM FILING THE COMPLAINT BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE BIKE AFFECTING YEARS 03-07. IF THE REAR BRAKE WERE TO COMPLETELY LOCK UP AT A HIGH SPEED IT COULD CAUSE A CRASH OR THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM COULD GET HOT ENOUGH TO CAUSE A FIRE. *TR
