Hi All, forgive me as i have not been on a TDM for many years but have managed to save a few pounds and convinced my wife that my mate is coming up for the big Five O and we need to celebrate this with a 2 week trip round Europe next year and guess what......It worked!!
So I managed to pick up a 2002/3 model at a great price, it has sat around a bit so gave it a check over levels etc pumped up the tyres and set off from Portsmouth to south London at a sensible bimble not having been on a bike for a few years.
Anyway the first time i pulled up the bike was quite hard to move and the rear brake pedal was non existent. Looked at the rear brake and calliper and disc were blue and pads and piston were "hanging out"
Cant believe i didn't feel it at all, so unbolted the calliper and limped home with just the front brake.
I am now looking for a rear disc, calliper (and pads of course) and wondered if any of you chaps had and pointers for a good supplier?
Im sure the disc and calliper must be quite generic across the Yamaha range but not sure which> probably Fazer or the like possibly?
Anyway its great to see this site is still up and running and i look forward to many evenings between here and my garage this summer..
I am also going to need new fork stations as these are quite pitted, can't believe they don't leak!
Thanks Stuart
