KX60 HELP! In need of rebuild!
crazyolbastard:
I think what Tuck is suggesting is remove the pin that moves the arm to the rear brake master cylinder.
Just check the movement of the peddle to start.
It could need to be cleaned up and serviced.
I have another idea but start there.
Good luck Chris

Im already used to taking the carb on and off the yz so my friends came over and I was bored so I took it off and taught one of them how it works . And do any of you have a video of what you are trying to get across? cause I still dont understand...The guy that I bought the yz from contacted me today asking how I like the bike. I told him how the rear brake doesnt work and he said when he had it he remembers it working...so maybe the fluid...Thanks

If you have any Idea's Crazy Please throw it out there.
Yes That's what I was trying to get to at Thanks.
There is only one moving part to the rear brake pedal, and the plunger for the master cyl.
I can understand what would make the pedal so hard to push down, but what would cause the pedal to "Stay down" and not return....
It is a pretty serious problem to have a rear brake that doesn't work properly on a bike that will do 45mph or better.

Well no hurry on the rear brake cause believe it or not but even when I pin my kx I always use the front brake. I would like to fix it but theres no hurry. More focused on the jetting. If any of you have a video to show what I have to do I would get it cause Im not use to these kind of brakes and I never work on brakes. A video would be good. It will do much more than 45! My kx will do more than 45 without the power it had before since it wasnt jetted! Let me know guys! Thanks

not read all of this brake thing, but after cleaning and greasing lever and pivot,and clevis,maybe knackered pad pins, divotted, bent(ooh matron) or ungreased????
you need functioning back brake to drop the front wheel if she goes 'hard arise' on ya as shutting throttle is less effective on a 2 stroke (negligible engine braking)and if your north of the balance point the back brake is your only friend.K.
