Default Integrated braking question

Just noticed that after riding a bit (2015 trike) on the front wheel the right front rotor is considerably warmer than the left. I think I read somewhere that when using the rear brake pedal to engage the front brake, only one set of calipers/pistons are engaged. Is this correct, and if so, is it the right side that engages?

Northwestern's GOOD advice was accepted by the
OP Snoop417 and he re-posted in the trike subforum
making this now a misplaced dupe.
