Yamaha TT-R125 Dirt Bike (2000 - Present): How to Adjust Rear Brake Lever
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 жов 2022
- This video shows how to adjust the rear brake lever on a Yamaha TT-R125 dirt bike (all model years and variants). The specific bike in the video is a 2009 Yamaha TT-R125LE. This video may also apply to many other dirt bike and motorcycle models as well, regardless of brand or displacement.
A properly adjusted rear brake lever is important for proper rear braking ability and feel when riding. Comment below if you have any questions!
I hope I may be able to help someone out! Thanks for watching, and ride safely! - Авто та транспорт
Do you know what the brackets the rod attaches to are called. I can’t seem to find them anywhere
Hi! I think the parts diagram at the following link will show you what you're looking for. Part #9 is called "Lever, Camshaft" which I believe is the bracket you're referring to: www.partsfish.com/oemparts/a/yam/50046cd8f8700209bc796d0f/rear-wheel
How do I adjust the height of my brake lever on the KLX110?
Hi @Shulxz, thanks for reaching out! Just to ask one clarifying question - are you talking about the rear brake lever (foot lever on the right side) height or the front brake lever (handlebar) height?
@@SeanStettnichs My bad I should have said. The rear foot break lever.
@@Shulxz No worries at all - just wanted to clarify which one you were referring to.
I don't currently have a KLX110 in the garage to look for sure, but I don't think the stock rear brake lever has an adjustable height. The only way you can "adust" the rear brakes are by turning the wingnut (or standard nut) at the end of the long rod connected to the rear brake lever. This is how you adjust the rear brake shoes/drum which in turn may slightly adjust the height of the lever.
Alternatively, they do sell "adjustable" rear brake levers/rods which would allow you to change the height of the rear brake lever without necessarily adjusting the shoes/drum itself. I think this may be what you're after, but first I would start with adjusting the stock lever/rod to ensure your rear brake is working properly. That may help you out as a starting point before needing to buy an adjustable lever/rod.
Here's an example video I made for a Yamaha, but it should be similar for your KLX110:

I hope this helps!
@@Shulxz No worries at all - thanks for clarifying. I don't have a video specifically made for the KLX110 rear brake lever adjustment; however, the steps in this video for the TTR125 should be very similar for adjusting the rear brake drum/shoes.
Now, if you feel your rear brake drum/shoes are properly adjusted (you like the feel; they are providing enough stopping power), but you would still like to adjust your rear brake foot lever height, you need to first see if it's adjustable. I'm worried it may not be adjustable from the factory. In the above video, you can see there are four little holes where the foot brake lever connects to the rod. In my video, the rod is connected at the highest point. If you have an adjustable lever, you can try moving the rod's mounting point to one of the other holes to see if that gives you a better rear brake lever height. If you do not have any other mounting points for the rod to connect to, than it's likely the stock rear brake lever is not adjustable on the KLX110.
You could always consider buying an adjustable rear brake lever assembly, which should allow for multiple adjustment settings. Otherwise, first start by making sure the shoes/drum are properly adjusted (by following the steps in this video for the TTR125) as it's always good to have the rear brake adjusted properly anyway AND it may also slightly adjust the height of your rear brake lever as well.
Not sure if this is the info you wanted to hear, but unfortunately you might have to buy a different rear brake lever assembly to make it fully adjustable like you're looking for. Either way, I hope this helps!
Thank you so much@@SeanStettnichs
Mine don’t spin bro what do I need
Your wingnut doesn't spin? If that's the case I would try some sort of penetrating oil (PB Blaster, for example) to work it loose.
