Does anybody know of where i can get front brake cables instead of using the hydraulic ones? Im sick of them not always working.
After multiple bleedings and readjustment Im fed up. Can someone please help?

 

You have to be kidding.

 

Kidding about what?

 

Nothing is worse than cable brakes. If you think you haver problems with hydro brakes you aint seen nothing yet. Ask pre 2003 blaster or old atc owners about this.

You must have a major brake problem because my quad is an 87 and it's hydraulic brake system is one of the most maintance free things on it. In the 3 and half years I have owned it I have bleed the brakes once, because I switched to stainless steel hoses. Other than that I have never even added fluid to it.

 

I dont think he's kidding, cable breaks are awesome! im gettin rid of my hydraulic brakes pretty soon, they suck! Im also de-sleeving my 440 down to a 300 and im getting rid of those stupid shocks and replacing them with solid metal bars, as for those dirt tires, pshhh, I'd take a set of forklift tires any day over those.

 

lmao. But really, trx250Rob isnt kidding about the blaster. We were goin down a hill, and my friends brakes went. This kid isnt smart enough to downshift, but he went and hit a tree. After pulling his out, i tightened up the little screws for the cable near the front drum, and on his way up the next huge hill, his quad stalled. If I wasnt there to tighten up his breaks, who knows how badly he could have hurt himself trying to back down the twisty rocky hill. All I can say, is that i have not had any problems with my breaks, and that my brake fluid is still at the right level.

 

If this fails, you have something wrong with your brake system like a bad caliper seal.

You need to reverse bleed your brakes. It is the easiest way to bleed your brakes. It has been posted a million times and worked miracles for many readers.

1) Pump your front brake about 10-15 times so it builds up pressure. If it doesn't seem to be building any pressure then do it 30 times.

2) After pumping the brakes up, squeeze the lever to the handlebar and use a rope or strap to keep it held in.

3) Loosen the reservoir cap so the air can escape.

4) Let it sit for 8 hours then do the entire process again.

5) Tighten down the reservoir cap and go riding with your new found braking power.

By the way, this works for rear brakes too. You just need to be smarter about finding a way to keep the brake pedal held down.

Again if this doesn't work then you have a serious brake issue.

Good Luck!
