Quick video on how to change your rear brakes on a GY6 scooter.Speed run coming, and we might need some stopping power. Brakes : amzn.to/40B9pjI #DAKID #Kachi's Kid
Kid -- I continue to be amazed...that you almost have me convinced even I could do that! And your soundtrack went from Public Enemy to Three Dog Night?! Man, that's some old skool radio mixes...like I woulda done when I worked radio 40 years ago! Good job as always...
I love the design of scooter brakes - a metal butterfly :) I was surprised to hear your comment about dust and squeaking. You do such an outstanding job with the upkeep of all the bikes, it was surprising to see that pesky dust; it was quite sneaky, squatting on Hope :)
Nice Lil tid bit of information. I still have low miles on Boot Scoot but, there will be a time when I'll need to do this. As always, appreciate all of your tips and tricks with these.
Thanks for this easy explanation. My Peugeot Kisbee has 12000km on the clock and the rear brakes just barely do anything now. I already adjusted the tension but still, I should probably swap the pads.
And of course for me they don't budge at all no matter what. It's the trivialy easy stuff that always becomes a roadblock. Edit. Got easy from donor engine block but my previous one just had super stiff springs.
@@kachiskid haha, yeah blood sacrifice to the Gods was made. It is weird how same spec drum brakes end up having such different spring stiffness. Anyway great video and subscribed!
@@kachiskid Mine was mangled pretty bad and stuck out way too far. On a hard surface it was impossible to use and on dirt you had to roll it and slam the thing down like the bike is pole vaulting. When it was hitting my new exhaust, it had to go.
You got a tease the subscribers .lol I watch your channel no matter what you put up.👍👍👍👍👍☝️ If I can find a cheap used moped locally as a project I'm talking cheap I probably be interested in buying it. Just for something to do you know. But really I've got so many unfinished projects my wife will kill me. 👍👍👍☝️ If I get a moped I'll have to sneak it in the back door🤫
Great video. I recently tried to get my wheel off but was unable to get the piece of metal between wheel and exhaust off. I undid the two bolts and shock from the exhaust side and whacked it with a hammer a few times . What am I missing?!
Thank you. I think you are talking about the swing-arm assembly. Attempt to jack the bike up, pressure off the back tire might help. Couple of small hits with a rubber mallet and should pop free.
@@kachiskid thanks, o btw will the ngk sparkplugs CR7HSA is also for this bike right?? And since i have a 28mm carb, that sparkplug is fine to my bike right?? Thanks..
Yup, that is fine. I haven't noticed a big difference in spark plug name brands. I stopped running the NGK and moved to a cheaper model. amzn.to/3mb9VDL I'm liking these.
I have a problem with mine, i got the right sized brake shoes and replaced it fine but it does not grip it properly. No matter how much i adjust the nut the brake shoes dont lock up the wheel completely. My scooter brake assembly is different, it has a return spring on the bottom, im thinking its the problem as its very hard/old.
The pads are glazed over..Scrub the glaze off with a magic eraser and totally awesome degreaser...Sand the ring surface...Use a P 60 sand paper and sand the aluminum surface that comes in contact with the brake pads...Scratch it with the sand paper outwards
Is it possible for drum brakes to seize and stop the rear wheel from moving? About to start the long list of issues with my Moped but don't wanna buy a part I might not need. Any response appreciated
@@kachiskid I'm hoping I won't have to order anything time I start working cause I have a second scooter for parts but not sure on the condition of those ones aha. Appreciate the response. Gonna start working on mine soon.
Judging by the comments of your average audience. Might be worth mention that those brake shoes were more or less at about half of its useful life! Practical translation: No doubt they would benefit from some cleaning, But definitely didn't need replacement! Certainly it's a cheap machine, but that's still money down the drain... For no reason at all! ;-)
Yeah, they didn't need to be replaced yet but for the price ($15), why not. The video's pay for themselves, it more about making a video, straight to the point, in attempt to help out others.
@@kachiskid the nut, washer etc is of😅 thats the problem. Ive tried a hard stop, ive sokead it in rust remover, ive tried the rubber mallet. I have tried some with a pulley, but i cant get a good grip. All the videos ive watched the wheel comes right of😅 Because the lug nut is the only thing thats keeping it, right?😁
