Rear brake chatter?

Just asking if anyone has experienced or noticed a chatter or vibration when braking lightly with the rear brake only. I first noticed and thought it was the road conditions but realized that it happens when just touching the rear brake lightly, it goes away when really getting on the brakes and does not do it all of the time. Visual inspections have shown no unsatisfactory items thus far. I have an 09 base model Wing with 21K miles on it. Any information or input would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, many. Do a search for more information and you will find the answer is to operate the m/c using both brakes as designed.

In addition to what Wingjammer said, I notice the chatter on mine more-so when I don't wash the bike and the brake dust builds up in the rear assembly. After a good suds down and rinse, the chatter disappears almost completely for a long while again.
