brake rotors could be warped.

Honda rotors are fairly tiny from the get go. Your pads drag ever so slightly even when you're not braking. At 110 there is quite a bit of friction. Super heated rotors will pulse. I've never been in a Honda that didn't do this.

i had that same problem. once i pulled my rotors off, i saw why i had that problem. it's gone now thanks to Brembo crossdrilled rotors and Axxis pads. and they work damn good too.

get used to warped rotors... you can usually have them turned twice.. and then it's time for new rotors.....
