How do I set up the brake pads on my caliper, while trying to put my rear wheel on it fell apart cant get it back together without my rear brakes not working once i've got the wheel on. I've read my book that helps me really doesn't tell me much i'd appreciate it if you could explain how to assemble it. I'm mechanically retarded this is probably the fourth or fifth question I've asked.

 

Did you loose the small metal spring clip that holds the pads in place in the caliper body? It has small grooves that the pads slide into and when the brake pins is inserted puts some tension on the pads. Dont **** around with your brakes sounds like you need someone whos knows what they are doing to help out. I saw a guy losse that clip on a MX bike and did not know what it did or that he lost it, well actually I saw the nice cast he had from breaking his wrist when the pads got jammed in between the caliper and rotor and threw him over the bars.

 

haha I was riding it all day with 2 pads on one side of the rotor, I was just thinking what would happen if i by accidently press on the rear brake and it pushes the 2 pads right into the rotor.

 

I can take off the caliper without having to remove my wheel right? I just put on new front and rear sprockets and a new chain and dont want to have to deal with removing my rear wheel, it's a 1999 r6 maybe it differs.

 

brakes are for PUSSIES.... full throttle all the way bitch. oh yea by the way, yamahas are for ****

 

Yeah I could see how a guy with a gem like a 90 RM 250 woold say something so ******* stupid. Who the **** waste time to register to post **** like this?

 

Yes you can remove just the caliper. But how the hell did you ride around all day with out using your rear brake. Like I said find somone to help you before you get hurt.

 

the sad part is, i would smoke your sorry *** on your yz250

 

I am am so sure. I would call your sorry *** out but I don't travel to FL in the winter to race anymore. Also I don't have a bike to race in the vintage class so you would have to move up from begginer and race Amatuer. Now go talk all kinds of **** about how fast you are blah blah blah, fact is that you own a bike as old as you are and if you where any decent you would definatley have something newer. Squid.

 

o so your pussing out?

 

No I am going to travel aproxx 1800 mi, so I can race a fuctard with a dinosaur, just because he can talk alot of **** online. Here is a picture I found of you after a hard moto on your Vintage MXer

 

this is you riding your brand new yz-250 that you have no idea how to ride.

 

Post some pics of your bikes ******! I am sure you can find a pic of someone elses 600rr, that you don have. Look in the Archives from the smithsonian right next to the model T I think I saw pics of your RM 250.

 

i will tommarrow on this thread.

 

Thats what I thought. Good luck searching.

^^^^^funny shiat, gotta love SL

i'm just wonder how no damage was done when you where riding with two pads on one side of the rotor? was the caliper not grinding the shiat out of the rotor? how did you not hear something was wrong?


be start being safe/smart before u end up hurting yourself.

 

I pushed the pads far enough over so they weren't touching my rotor I couldn't stand not riding anymore, I didn't have any other choice.

 

u could just do it right in the first place!

 

It's great your learning to wrench on your own bike !! Props for that, but make sure you know what your doing or you WILL get hurt ! Maybee just have a friend look it over after your done wrenching ??
