Thanks..

Thanks for the welcomes. I am stunned to see the price of RD200s on ebay! Something else I should have kept locked away somewhere.

Thanks for the quick replies. I'm not that keen on pre-used components where brakes are concerned, I'll keep up the search for new replacement. I had hoped that the 0.5mm wear was only half way! But clearly not

Thanks Slice, Yamaha price I've been quoted is approx £160 plus VAT per disc, so somewhere near £400 for a pair of discs. I've bought complete bikes for less. A pointer towards the £50 per disc would be much appreciated.

Look like I'm guilty of posting a tech question in the bar! Scrolled down the forum page but couldn't see the workshop sub-forum, found several tech posts in the bar so added another one.

Hi I'm looking for info on the minimum thickness of a front dics. The unworn section of disc = 4mm, the worn section is 3.6mm. As far as I can work out from the internet, the minimum thickness before replacement is required is 3.5mm. 0.5mm of allowable wear doesn't seem very much, but then I'm probably comparing it to much thicker car discs where 2mm of wear is typically permitted. Any advice gratefully received!

Back to the tuning fork! My first road bike was an RD200 in the 1970s, stopped riding for a while (20 years!), but now back with an FZR600R.
