Why is the drum brake on my motorcycle so hard and not stopping effectively?
1 Answers
The motorcycle's brake being too hard and not stopping effectively is usually an issue with the brake friction pads. You can try replacing the brake pads. If it has a brake cable, also check whether the brake cable is faulty or twisted into a spring shape. If it's a disc brake, it could also be a fault with the brake pump. If it's a drum brake, also check whether the wheel hub brake disc is excessively worn. Below is some relevant information: Brake fluid may be too low: The brake fluid inside may be insufficient, leading to poor braking performance. Severe brake pad wear: The brake pads may be severely worn, or it could be an issue with the brake master cylinder/slave cylinder, or the brake disc may be severely worn.
