Quick video on how to change your rear brakes on a GY6 scooter.Speed run coming, and we might need some stopping power. Brakes : amzn.to/40B9pjI #DAKID #Kachi's Kid
Kid -- I continue to be amazed...that you almost have me convinced even I could do that! And your soundtrack went from Public Enemy to Three Dog Night?! Man, that's some old skool radio mixes...like I woulda done when I worked radio 40 years ago! Good job as always...
I love the design of scooter brakes - a metal butterfly :) I was surprised to hear your comment about dust and squeaking. You do such an outstanding job with the upkeep of all the bikes, it was surprising to see that pesky dust; it was quite sneaky, squatting on Hope :)
And of course for me they don't budge at all no matter what. It's the trivialy easy stuff that always becomes a roadblock. Edit. Got easy from donor engine block but my previous one just had super stiff springs.
@@kachiskid haha, yeah blood sacrifice to the Gods was made. It is weird how same spec drum brakes end up having such different spring stiffness. Anyway great video and subscribed!
Nice Lil tid bit of information. I still have low miles on Boot Scoot but, there will be a time when I'll need to do this. As always, appreciate all of your tips and tricks with these.
Thanks for this easy explanation. My Peugeot Kisbee has 12000km on the clock and the rear brakes just barely do anything now. I already adjusted the tension but still, I should probably swap the pads.
@@kachiskid Mine was mangled pretty bad and stuck out way too far. On a hard surface it was impossible to use and on dirt you had to roll it and slam the thing down like the bike is pole vaulting. When it was hitting my new exhaust, it had to go.
Great video. I recently tried to get my wheel off but was unable to get the piece of metal between wheel and exhaust off. I undid the two bolts and shock from the exhaust side and whacked it with a hammer a few times . What am I missing?!
Thank you. I think you are talking about the swing-arm assembly. Attempt to jack the bike up, pressure off the back tire might help. Couple of small hits with a rubber mallet and should pop free.
You got a tease the subscribers .lol I watch your channel no matter what you put up.👍👍👍👍👍☝️ If I can find a cheap used moped locally as a project I'm talking cheap I probably be interested in buying it. Just for something to do you know. But really I've got so many unfinished projects my wife will kill me. 👍👍👍☝️ If I get a moped I'll have to sneak it in the back door🤫
I have a problem with mine, i got the right sized brake shoes and replaced it fine but it does not grip it properly. No matter how much i adjust the nut the brake shoes dont lock up the wheel completely. My scooter brake assembly is different, it has a return spring on the bottom, im thinking its the problem as its very hard/old.
The pads are glazed over..Scrub the glaze off with a magic eraser and totally awesome degreaser...Sand the ring surface...Use a P 60 sand paper and sand the aluminum surface that comes in contact with the brake pads...Scratch it with the sand paper outwards
Is it possible for drum brakes to seize and stop the rear wheel from moving? About to start the long list of issues with my Moped but don't wanna buy a part I might not need. Any response appreciated
@@kachiskid I'm hoping I won't have to order anything time I start working cause I have a second scooter for parts but not sure on the condition of those ones aha. Appreciate the response. Gonna start working on mine soon.
@@kachiskid thanks, o btw will the ngk sparkplugs CR7HSA is also for this bike right?? And since i have a 28mm carb, that sparkplug is fine to my bike right?? Thanks..
Yup, that is fine. I haven't noticed a big difference in spark plug name brands. I stopped running the NGK and moved to a cheaper model. amzn.to/3mb9VDL I'm liking these.
@@kachiskid the nut, washer etc is of😅 thats the problem. Ive tried a hard stop, ive sokead it in rust remover, ive tried the rubber mallet. I have tried some with a pulley, but i cant get a good grip. All the videos ive watched the wheel comes right of😅 Because the lug nut is the only thing thats keeping it, right?😁
Judging by the comments of your average audience. Might be worth mention that those brake shoes were more or less at about half of its useful life! Practical translation: No doubt they would benefit from some cleaning, But definitely didn't need replacement! Certainly it's a cheap machine, but that's still money down the drain... For no reason at all! ;-)
Yeah, they didn't need to be replaced yet but for the price ($15), why not. The video's pay for themselves, it more about making a video, straight to the point, in attempt to help out others.
Another one of your concise explanations. Good job. Always looking forward to the next one!
Thanks again!
Kid -- I continue to be amazed...that you almost have me convinced even I could do that! And your soundtrack went from Public Enemy to Three Dog Night?! Man, that's some old skool radio mixes...like I woulda done when I worked radio 40 years ago! Good job as always...
That is why we do, what we do...lol. Yeah little brother...I LOVE MY JOB!
are you a real person...?
i learned something how to change the brakes pad thankz to kachi's kid
👍👍😉
No problem 👍
Man im so glad you popped up first 👌 what a great explanation, very clear, good quality camera (makes all the difference) subbed up 👍👍
Why thank you very much for the kind words, and welcome to the family.

Oh not regular dust, I was speaking about brake dust. Yeah the metal butterfly is the look of all drum brakes.
Many cars have these brakes too. Drum brakes
That was actually so helpful thank you
Glad it helped!

Edit. Got easy from donor engine block but my previous one just had super stiff springs.
Yeah, tell me about it. I almost lost a finger the 1st time doing mine.

Thanks bro. Just trying to help when I can.
Short and nice man respect
Thank you.
Fast and straight forward. Thanks!
No problem. Your welcome.
I want to see the reassembly! Helpful video though, thanks
The reassembly only consists on putting on the back tire, and reinstalling the exhaust.
Thanks for the content
My pleasure!
Thanks for this easy explanation. My Peugeot Kisbee has 12000km on the clock and the rear brakes just barely do anything now. I already adjusted the tension but still, I should probably swap the pads.
No problem. Pads are cheap enough, and easy enough to change out, but so important.
Removing the center stand is the best thing I've ever done for my Lancer.
I want too but I work on my bike way too much. Plus the kick stand doesn't get a good lean. A little wind or a good fart will blow it over.
@@kachiskid Mine was mangled pretty bad and stuck out way too far. On a hard surface it was impossible to use and on dirt you had to roll it and slam the thing down like the bike is pole vaulting. When it was hitting my new exhaust, it had to go.
@@thelagmeister Oh 4 sure. If mine was causing an exhaust issue or it ever clips the ground (knock on wood) then mine goes also.

Well brother, get to sneaking...lol. Yeah get one, it doesn't even have to be running. We will get that sucker running.

Send a pic or video to kachiskid@gmail.com
Do you have a video on tools needed for scooter repair
Not one on specifics...everything is either 8mm, 11mm, or 13mm.
Kid I bought a 150cc. 1 month. En when i use the rear brake it do some scuiki sound soo you tell me
Sorry Julio, what type of sound?
The pads are glazed over..Scrub the glaze off with a magic eraser and totally awesome degreaser...Sand the ring surface...Use a P 60 sand paper and sand the aluminum surface that comes in contact with the brake pads...Scratch it with the sand paper outwards
what if the part I need to see is putting it back together?
Lab Coat Paul did one.
What did u use to clean the brake dust?
Wire brush, brake cleaner, leaf blower to dry. I don't have an air compressor.
Is it possible for drum brakes to seize and stop the rear wheel from moving? About to start the long list of issues with my Moped but don't wanna buy a part I might not need. Any response appreciated
Oh big time, i think my brakes have seized on my Camaro. (lack of movement) I would take it apart to some degree before ordering parts.
@@kachiskid I'm hoping I won't have to order anything time I start working cause I have a second scooter for parts but not sure on the condition of those ones aha. Appreciate the response. Gonna start working on mine soon.

Primo !
Grazie !
I went from 50cc to 125 cc and I can't find the parts I need🥲I got disc breaks tho
Nice. Where are you, Europe or Asia? 125cc is a totally different engine, normally you bore a 50cc to 80, or 100cc.
@@kachiskid USA unfortunately. But no I bought it and the other parts piece by piece as a project
Yeah in our land, it's hard to build a 125. How far have you gotten? What parts are missing?
You sound like Ice-T
2nd person who has said that. I'll have to listen harder, not sure I hear it.
I'm not going to be responsible for boring anyone to death 😂
Lol. Yeah try to get to the point in my videos.
how can i re lube my back rim ?
Gotta take the tire off, then just add some grease.
@@kachiskid ohh ok thanks is it fine to use high temp grease or all purpose grease?
No problem, I threw some High temp. on mine.
Time to replace the mount on the swing arm..
Thanks, I'll take a look next season.
My wheel does not come of.. i dont think that the brakes are engaged, because the wheel spins freely.
Set it on the ground to loosen the lug nut.
@@kachiskid the nut, washer etc is of😅 thats the problem. Ive tried a hard stop, ive sokead it in rust remover, ive tried the rubber mallet. I have tried some with a pulley, but i cant get a good grip.
All the videos ive watched the wheel comes right of😅 Because the lug nut is the only thing thats keeping it, right?😁
Got it off. Wooden block, big hammer and repeated turning and hammering
@@thora3980 Awesome!
Not too bad of a job
Just a quick look.
Lol wu tang, my dude
Always have to have your "liquid swords" ready.
