Bryanj:
I have been buying stainless piston with new sel as a kit from honda classics going direct rather than ebay, as to fluid i use what i have in stock, which at moment is dot 4 i think, bought 5 litres when i was having problems with my mates 1500 trike and still got a fair bit left, got it cos i was offered a deal after buying mannol oil from fleabay, using several different grades for the family "fleet"

With all due respect and at risk of being blasphemous, may I dare ask this:
if chamfering does not help, why did Honda chamfer them? (see pic)

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Chamfering is common in the automotive industry. I was led to believe it helped in bedding in pads & reduced brake squeal.

Yep, that's what I was told. It just happens to deviate from what's in that quoted post...

Bryanj:
When Citroen come out with the big CX model that had the high pressure pump brake system the brakes would sometimes squeal a their answer was to put finger marks of coppaslip either side of the DISC, yes that is the disc braking surface and it did work, i believe the theory was the copper got into the micro holes in the friction matterial stopping the squeak.
I WOULD NOT SUGGEST THIS FOR ANY MOTORCYCLE, cars have four wheels and only fall over if heavily provoked
