Crappy brakes on my 02KX250
Bandit9:
I bled them this afternoon. They feel the same as before. I ran some sandpaper on the rotors. A guy in another forum mentioned that the rotors might be glazed. It was dark, so couldn't test them out. I ordered some stainless steel brake lines today, so if the bleeding, scuffing, steel lines doesn't help, then I will be rebuilding the caliper. Thanks for the replies.
John:
I had the same problem, check out this thread;

Bandit9:
Interesting. Thanks John.
Rick:
Use only original KX pads. Nothing else compares. The KX250 should stop just fine once the air is out, the pads are stock, and the rotor is not glazed.

I agree with that completely. I tried EBC sintered metal and they took a long time to break in, never did give me the same stopping power. The KX pads aren't cheap (over $30), but it's sort of a safety thing for me. I want to stop when I want to stop, not 10 feet later.
And while we're on this subject, loc-tite the front brake pin!! My '03 KX250 doesn't have the plastic cap thingie like the rear caliper has. You'll know rather quickly when the pin is gone. :shock:
