Kx's have weak brakes

1.Get a 270mm over size braking disc kit before anything else
2.I tried a cr master cylinder on kx's before with less spongy feeling
3.Get the best pads you can buy
4.don't bother with a aftermarked brake line they do little especially with newer kx's but you could try it with 2000 but i try the other 1,2,3 before this

Might seem trivial but also make sure the adjustment screw on the brake lever is set correctly. If it is backed out to far the feel at the lever will be worse.
