Haven't had a chance to fully inspect it yet, but the last two times I've ridden it in low speed situations, I'm getting brake chatter from the front, when pressing down lightly on rear brake only. Does not happen when applying front brake lever.
I'm assuming pads and rotors are good, since it only happens in that certain scenario, and the fact that it just passed state inspection.
Common occurrence with LBS that's a known "feature" or maybe just needs a brake service done? 8400 miles on it, 2002.
Personally I believe it's because only the center piston being activated by the rear pedal that doesn't give even pressure to the ends of the pad thus allowing it to vibrate. It has happened to me on occasion but squeezing the front brake lightly or putting slightly more pressure on the rear pedal quells it.

Thanks for the reply. it certainly seems to be exasorbated in city stop/go when there's some heat in the rotors. I'll keep logging data in my head to see if I can really define what the exact conditions are when it happens. Glad to hear, it's just a "feature". :)
