My yz250 front brake is feeling kinda weak, if I hold the lever down as hard as I can and push the bike forward I can actually get the front wheel to rotate. It does take considerable effort but I’m wondering if this is normal, or if this is just an indication I need to bleed the brakes or maybe I need new pads or is there anything else that could make them feel weak.
I would start with a good bleeding. If that doesnt get it where you want it then toss on new pads and give them a couple rides to bed in to the rotor. If that doesnt do it then lastly a new brake line. I have seen brake lines become tired through time and flex too much but that would be the last thing on the list.
Riding and working on dirt bikes for 40 plus years i still learn something from everyone of your videos. Great job as always
Thanks! Glad to hear that!
Oof if a rear sprocket isn’t tight I’ve seen them warp the hub/surface! You’re a great mechanic and cool guy! Nice vid
Thanks! Oh yeah, loose sprockets can surely tear up the hub.
Lots of great information!!! Another great video!!!
Thanks Joel!
I have a oem vc gasket an timing chain and rear chain guide an the block on eBay for that rmz lol
LoL 👍
I’ve always loved rmz dirtbikes
Yea, I’ve seen so many people not oil air filters as well
Oh yeah. I have rebuilt many motors from no oil on filters.
My rim locks are usually opposite of the valve stem
On a lot of bike they are, but some bikes put them very close together.
