Tech Talk / Re: Yam DT1 front brake cam improvement?
« Last post by pokey on August 13, 2024, 11:37:09 am »Yam brakes usually work quite well and not uncommon to find them on early Suzuki as they do fit the fork lug. Likely nothing you dont already know but guess its the basics with inspecting the hub for roundness grooving glazing and take appropriate action. Not getting decent brakes from a slightly worn shoe is a sign the hub is out of spec. As you can see with a single pivot only one end moves unlike TLS so making sure everything is within spec so you get the most contact with the hub that may need relining. I hear metal spraying them is the way to go. Changing or packing the cam will only give you a different feel as the shoes still travel the same distance and path. One other thing to look at is some bikes have different length shoes in the same hub so check installation is correct. Best of luck with them.
