Hi from Australia, Keep the bike. I have a 1976 XS750D model. Silver/blue tank. I am foreever being waved down and people want to check out my bike. I have being told mine is the only original model left in my town. The bike was known for middle pistons siezing, but if engine oil was changed and kept topped up, this fixed the problem. Restore the bike, its a rare classic. There aren't many left. I am proud of mine and would never part with it. If you would like a picture of my bike or more info, let me know your email address. All the best, John Australia.

Hi, Can anyone tell me why my rear brakes are jamming up. The brakes work fine for several presses, but they slowly jam against the disc. The pedal travel is reduced and the pads seem to stay closed against the disc, not returning to there proper position. Which is causing the disc to overheat. Is it the master cylinder at fault or the rear brake calipar. Here in Australia, xs750 parts are around, but are extremly dear to buy. If I open the bleed nipple, the brakes return to normal, but slowly jam up again. Will putting a kit in either stop the problem. Would anyone know which is causing the problem - Master cylinder or the brake calipar. I would be most gratefull for any help. John Australia. Bike - 1976 XS750D Hi Again, Solved the problem. Rear calipar piston covered in old sticky brake fluid (Like glue). when brake was applied, the piston would move out, but was jammimg at a certain stage and wouldn't return back. Cleaned piston and inside calipar housing with a light coat of thinners and used a pencil grinder fitted with a nylon brush. Brakes are now working perfect. John
