Great video! I read in a forum somewhere that the "shorty" cable solves 75% of the Blaster cable brake problems. That and keeping the caliper clean. Thank you for this "how to" upload.
thank you that video did what the 100s of other videos I watched didn't do well done ive been riding wit just front brakes couple close crashes but thanks to this video I have breaks I thought it was the pads thanks again
Thanks for the video , been having a hell of a time, then I finally figured it's the damn original cable was the problem , so I ordered the new cable today.
Ur video helped me out big time I have a blaster and I'm changing the back brakes and couldn't figure out y the brakes were to tight now I know I gotta turn the dial peice thanks
8:30 I just got done doing this to replace my pads and I was ready to cut the fucking cable and go no back brakes finally after a long soak in oil mixed with carb cleaner it came free with some vigorous force
Thanks for the video, just picked up the blaster and am in the process of fixing the rear brake. My question is the rubber boot covers on the sides on the rotors are they greased at all? Or are they just on the axle dry? Probably a dumb question.
i was rebuilding my rear caliper and shattered the plate guide, they dont make or sell that part anymore. how could i get one fabricated or what could i use to substitute for this part? this was the part # 2xj-25689-00-00. its # 16 in a part diagram. i cant seem to find a blue print or a schematics for it to even take into a tool and die shop, or a machine shop. are there any substitute parts or an alternative part# to order from?
I have a faulty identical brake calliper to the one In this video, I can’t find a replacement anywhere and the original blaster callipers don’t look like they’ll fit neither
@@Ruben-vo5sp i did manage to find a working complete caliper replacement. best is to upgrade to hydraulic brakes....they will work much better than basic cable brakes...they do cost more and are an easy enough to install
Hello ,,, I need your help. I can not find that same rear break caliber. Where and what part number or any information can you help me. I orded what I thought was the correct caliber and it was wrong. I have the exact same as you....
Been fighting with this shorty cable set up for awhile...had it working for one day and the cable snapped so I got another one and now the pin inside the caliper doesnt line up with the hole so I'm assuming I need a new caliper as their is no way to adjust. Any advice ?
$16.75 Amazon .... I love yamaha,but why didn't they go with juice brakes from the beginning ? Talk about your design flaw ! So many kids riding around with sheety binders
Hello. at 9:56, that metal threaded bit which connects the cable to the caliper snapped in half and part of it is stuck in the caliper. I've removed the rest of the cable but I cant put a new one in with the broken piece there. What can I do to remove it?
I did a quick search and didn't see one made by Motion Pro. Honestly, I don't remember which brand I purchased. Ours came from EBay and was aprox. $20-$25.
My brakes get really tight with just me tightening down that cover with three bolts... are my pads to thick or any other issues that can cause that? Please need help. Would really appreciate a reply
Ouch, my pads came with new o-rings. Honestly, I'd check a plumbing supply house (or maybe an automotive), they normally sell individual o-rings in a zillion miscellaneous sizes. Best of luck !
The "old" or factory original cable runs from the handlebar brake lever to the rear foot brake pedal to the rear caliber. The "new" "shorty cable" eliminates the cable between the handlebar lever and the foot pedal, leaving you with just a cable between the foot pedal and the caliper. This cable for the front handlebar is used for the parking brake.
Great video, i know im 10years late. However to find the pin # “ 2xj-25734-00-00” It’s hard cause the kit don’t come with the pin smh… I have everything except the pin..
