Krs1 posted a topic in Equipment & Technical Forum
Hey there fellow dual sporters. Curious If there's a way to know when to adjust there's or I just have to rip the bike apart every 1,000 miles to find out. Also any good videos on how to do so? -

A friend of mine told me about the place and yes prob isn't legal but nobody says any thing. The pics he showed the bronco was up to the mid door in a rut lol. Not sure if it's worthy but I'm seriously looking for somewhere within 15-20 miles from my house to ride. Anyone have any pics of the place? He had nothing but articulation pics if you know what I mean!!! Thinking mon around noon dependent on the surf -
Changed and bled brakes now rear is kinda soft (dr 350)
Krs1 posted a topic in Equipment & Technical Forum
Hello all I recently purchased a 1990 dr 350s dual sport. I have slowly been doing general matinence and just did the brakes. New pads front and rear as well as new fluid in both master cylinders. Totally bled brakes with clear fluid, my problem is rear brakes seem kinda soft, the lever goes further than it did before with less stopping power. Front lever pulls a little more than before but stops just fine. Am I missing something? If possible do I just need to adjust the levers? If so how do I do so. Thanks in advance from an oside noob -

Thanks! Did it and ton of air can out. I can't say my brakes are anymore responsive though. Maybe I'm just Trippin, I never really paid attention to how the rear brakes functioned before I changed the pads but swore I could get the back brake to lock and skid the rear tire. Maybe it was just in the dirt lol. How about any of you guys? Are u guys able to lock up the rear on the street? -

Krs1 replied to Krs1's topic in Equipment & Technical Forum
Ok here's an update! I just got home from work 4 days later? and re bled my brakes. Had the wife pump as I bleed. Front brakes done! Super tight and sensitive!! Back brakes went through 5 master cylinders of fluid and still not very sensitive they brake but really have to stomp to even get the back tire to skid. I believe I got all the air out so would this be a pedal adjustment, air still in the line or is the rear brake supposed to this soft? I know my front brake should be 75% of braking but dosent seem like rear is even giving me 25%. Sorry for the long progress update wait -

Krs1 replied to Krs1's topic in Equipment & Technical Forum
Never knew that about the navy lol. Well I use a clear tube but pump, hold, open bleed and close then release handle. Kato it does make sense, should I just pump with it wide open than pump till pressure bleed till no pressure that repeat? I've never used just pump with it open on any vehicle cuz no pressure builds. Maybe I'm doing it wrong lol. -

Yes held both front and back levers after pumping. Opens screw and once the lever depressed I closed the screw then repeated till new fluid came out of screw then topped master cylinder off to specs and sealed it. Would this not be a lever adjustment? It is 25 years old but in great condition!!!
