Crappy brakes on my 02KX250

(1/4) > >>

Bandit9:
I just bought this sweet KX250 w/ Eric Gorr 310 kit in it. I love the bike. The brakes just suck ass though. Is this a common issue w/ KX's?

gowen:
"suck ass" does not give enough information about the brakes. I have a few KX's now, one being a '01 250 and a '90 500. Both have near perfect brakes, with the 500 about in the ok catagory.

mikesmith:
You need to bleed the brakes often on the older 250's,you can go to an oversize rotor to.

Bandit9:
GOwen, they are bled with fresh fluid, pads have plenty of pad left, rotors are not worn, lever+pedal are adjusted, and the brakes feel very weak (aka "Suck Ass"). I was wondering if this is common with with KX's from that year. Or do I need to not waste my time trying to get the stock setup to perform and just spend money on steel brake lines and other rotors and pads.

Mike, thanks for the info. How often are we talking here?

Rowdy-Yates:
Bandit what year are we talking here? Is it front or back? A air bubble will give you that feeling also. Look for weak spots in your lines basically same as an air bubble.
