Airhead

just search for conversion and select 'forums' member NEO has recently done a well documented one on a DT175.

If youre filling it in reverse dont press the pedal. Also if the pipe that attaches from the syringe to the nipple comes off you will risk soaking your brake pads in brake fluid, I would wrap the caliper in something, rags or polythene in case this happened. You may find a little PTFE tape on the nipple thread would also help to stop fluid leaking through the thread

Not sure of all the differences but they have different forks and the sm has a brembo stopper up front, the sm's are less common and if you find a good one it would be a great investment...matter of fact if you find a good one of both types youre doing well because most of them are ridden by the youngsters who thrash them everywhere, I bought one a while back (trail) and am so glad I did that She'll be loaded up like a mule tomorrow, off to the aircooled RD rally in Derby, yes I know its not an RD :

yes just like bleeding, if you dont do that the fluid will just travel back and forth within the pipe...thats pipe...as in NOT cable

Kev you can buy a power pack cheaply for it, I have one on my bike. http://www.yamahaclub.com/forums/topic/13732-motorcycle-sat-nav-satnav-sat-nav/page__p__124944__hl__satnav__fromsearch__1#entry124944

you cant just pump without blocking off the banjo with your fingers each time you release the lever

yes youre missing an introduction and if you post the vin you have perhaps I can help

+1 Greetings phatphony whats the vintage bike then?

Its always worthwhile to bleed the pump, after all said and done its just removing a screw for a few seconds. As for restoration, you can be the judge of new or cleaned but cleaned wont look like new, however new wont stay new forever...decisions decisions. The word 'RESTORATION' it's a bit of a mis-noma when parts are replaced by new parts dont you think?

To add to what DDT posted 1) Check needle clip position, factory standard is middle notch, any notch lower (raising needle) would do this. 2) Most likely spring but check the rubber boot hasnt split and binding on the brake lever. Also has the spring been fitted wrong I wonder, theres a little nook (or possibly a cranny)in the casing for the end of the spring

If the battery is duff change the battery before worrying about any electrical problems

Split diaphragms?

Great story, the pain finish is real quality looking, maybe she will contiue as a family heirloom although you will no doubt have to start making parts eventually, hope 'junior' takes care of it and on it

Joe I doubt you will find anyone knows unless Haynes did a manual? You didnt mention the stand switch? did you test that was making and breaking with your meter?
