Rear brake failure, motorcycle taken to Honda motorcycle dealership, they spent 10 hours working on the issue but could not resolve it. Got them to replace the rear caliper, brakes are now working. Honda USA refused to honor this as a warranty claim as the rear tire had been replaced when the issue was noticed. The tire was replaced by a non Honda dealership due to them being the only dealer in the area with that size tire. 7
