For the really bad ones drill them out and replace with threaded brass tube, I think it happens more when the tube gets water in it and then freezes
That sounds the most plausible Bryan. Wee bit of plumbers flux and solder it up.make sure you clean off the excess flux

Yes Roy,i have to agree,a great write up.i have watched a few ethanol removal vids on youtube and they have also suggested adding an octane boost to the remaining ethanol free petrol!

Might look at gathering the bits and pieces for a twin disc set up. Previous owner obviously thought the same about the brake perfomance as the ******* advertised some parts for a twin disc conversion on here a week after I had bought it rather than throw them in with the bike. Think they turned out to be wrong anyway!
It was me that bought it! Yea u r correct,the caliper was for a 750

After getting off my street triple and straight on the 550 it really brought it home how poor the front brake is on the Honda. Are they meant to be this bad? Or could mine be not as effective as it should be? I would say the rear brake has almost as much stopping power and that it would probably be impossible to lock the front on anything but a wet greasy surface. Am sure the front disc on my rd250 was much better back in the day,admittedly the yamaha was a good bit lighter. As far as I know the pads are quite new and the travel at the lever feels fine.
I do understand this cos i also have a street triple and the brakes are awesome

Did consider another disc but from what I've read it sounds a bit tricky finding the correct parts? I'm not under any illusions concerning the performance of a 40 year old bike and ride quite sedately but you can't allow for someone pulling out of a junction unless you ride every where at walking speed.
U need to find a disc and caliper.i used a goldwing MC from Dave Silvers £40.it looks the same only a little taller.Braided hoses will also help

I have twin discs,
the feel is great,but it will not do "stoppies!!"
the pads are ok,but feel quite "hard",
does anyone one know a grippy pad?
something softer,we don't want to wear the disc,and as we tend to do small mileage,a high wear rate is ok,
any ideas ?
I am using DSS cheepo pads
Yea John it wont do stoppies and i wouldnt want to on a 40yr old headstock. Im using EBC pads and i find them great and quite grippy
