I was wondering if anyone can help me / give ideas on what may be my problem.
I am running a DT125 RE model and the REAR brake seems to be appalling!
It seems to have no effect on slowing the bike down at all.
It' seems to have always been shocking however recently I have noticed slight squeaking, locking of the rear wheel and just crap stopping distances when using the rear.
It's not the pads as they've been changed in the last 6 months.
I've changed and bled the brake fluid. No change.
I am still getting slight squeaking noises when a lot of pressure is applied!
To be fair, i've probably just got soap or alloy cleaner on the disc and pads. Front brake is mean though. Just the rear is annoying. In emergencies (happens quite often for me cause i never pay attention) I have kick it down 1 or 2 gears! Bad i know but better than crashing!
mine is either on or off mate did you bed the pads in the could be glazed over try checkin the caliper sliders aint seized and sand the face of the pad (make sure there flat) also clean the disc with brake cleaner and try that if not try bleeding them again matey
