From your previous posts you were looking at a fluid change on your servo brake system.  If you did that you might have somehow ended up with a binding brake.  The rear calliper is floating and can seize.  You say you have Brembo pads in so that suggests you have changed them or they are the BMW Brembo ones.  Don't see how fitting aftermarket pads will help but in many cases they can be very bad news for disc wear.

Hi, didn't have fluid changed,not due til next year.caliper all works OK, I tryed to find the pads fitted on the Internet (brembo site)but they are not listed.only had the bike 10 months,so I'm thinking change pads to a recommended set.

The OEM pads are readily available from any BMW dealer.  They are made by Brembo but have a BMW part number. If the disc is blued but not now binding check they are evenly worn . Also try spinning the back wheel with the engine running no the servo operating.
