Default 2000 Xplorer Brakes WEAK

Hello-

I have replaced the front pads and adjusted the calipers. I have attempted to bleed the rear. The right side bled with the foot pedal gave out some fluid. The left bleeder did nothing when the hand brake was operated.

The brakes are overall crappy. This machine and I are too heavy to have brakes this bad.

Is there anything I can check? The lever pressure is strong.

Are the cylinders in the calipers just not moving?

Lift the front Have some one hold the brake leaver while you try to turn the wheels by hand. If one turns than thats the caliper to work on or replace.
