Hey everybody,

Im goin riding this weekend and taking a friend, Hes commin to stay with me, and bringin his TRX 300. His back brakes are sticking pretty badly and he wants me to take a look?? Any ideas what is wrong......... What i can do to fix it??? im very mechanicly inclined and should have no probs doin it just wondering what im lookin at.....

 

all i can say is my rear breaks wore VERY fast, doubt that has **** to do w/ it, but just lettin ya know i guess [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

 

What I've seen happen quite a bit with the drums on the 300 is the bushing wear the brake lever goes through the drum wears out. The pressure on it causes the lever shaft to bind on an angle makeing them stick. What I've done a couple of times is to take a spring and run it from the lever on the drum to the trailer hitch. It's kind of a Mickey Mouse fix it job but it does stop them from sticking until it can be fixxed properly. Your buddy is doing better than me right now....at least he has brakes!!!!
