Ian,
When it happened on my TR250 my ace mechanic, John, found that there was a
stop tab missing on the front suspension that allowed the brake disc to
contact the frame (or something) at full lock.
Here's part of a discussion we had earlier after Don Malling's email on the
subject
John, Is this where the problem was when I wore out the front rotors?
