Re: Brake options for a G2
I pulled the wheels off earlier. The passenger side brake material was literally in a pile on the bottom when I removed the drum. No friction material at all.
The driver's side shoes look OK, but none of the pedal movement makes it to the shoes. I adjusted the tension, and I was only able to get about 1/8" - 1/4" of travel on the lever arm that is connected to the cable and shoes. I'm not sure how much travel you should have, but the travel I am getting will barely make the rear-most shoe move on the driver's side. In other words, I will need shoes, drum surfacing (most likely), possibly cables, and who knows about the adjusters and other hard parts in the assemblies. This is why I considered just getting a set of front discs. Replacing every part on the rear drums will be expensive. |

Re: Brake options for a G2
Stopping quickly with only front brakes makes you unable to steer- in my experience.

Re: Brake options for a G2
I need a bolt that appears to be sheared/broken on my driver's side brakes.
It is the bolt that hold the lever mechanism to the 'base' mounting plate that attaches to the axle tube. It looks brass, has a flat head, and has a spring 'seat' on the threaded side near the shoulder. Any idea where I can find this? I don't see it on yamaha's website. Both of them on my brakes were broken on the ends. It looks like they may have been slotted at one point to allow you to install a flathead screwdriver. Any input is appreciated. I can get specific pics if needed, but it basically goes right here: |
