Drum brakes can stop as well as a disc, they just tend to heat up faster. The reason they feel inferior on a motorcycle in terms of stopping power is because most drum brakes on motorcycles use a cable instead of a hydraulic line. Drum brakes are also significantly lighter than discs. Unless you're racing you likely won't ever overheat a drum brake, but I have seen them used successfully.
Good deal judt got new brakes on my SECA xj750r.
thank you for video, wanted to check brakes and understand better, good job ty
The problem with my bike is that when I push on the rear brake it goes all the way down with no effort.
THANX refreshed forgotten points
hey i was wondering if you know how to fix a muffler with a hole in it on a 93 yamaha virgo
is there a front and back on the virgo ones ?
ok thanks for everything have a great night
my breaks work fine but my drum gets really hot to the point it discolored my shell of drum ive tryed to clean breaks lube up my axle but still gets hot and have drag unless i loosen them to the point I have no breaks at all please help if possible thanks
Great video, thanks. I'm working on a 1985 Honda Shadow VT700 and just replaced the rear tire and was wondering how the brakes worked.
Excellent guide, very helpful and informative! I recently bought a used scooter (Piaggio Skipper 125cc) and the rear brake is a drum brake. I noticed that the inside of the drum brake (not the brake shoes) has marks, rendering the shoes flat in about 2 months of use due to its abnormally rough surface. Is there a way to fix or replace that part or do I need a new rear rim/wheel?
Nice video, good tips. I like your video, but I was looking for a video on how to dismantle the drum brakes. I've gotten as far as I dare with dismantling mine, but I'm kind of at a stand still now. If you haven't already, would you mind making a video walkthrough?
Thanks.
im planing to buy this bike 82 Yamaha maxim 650 the owner said the rear break get stock if used so he just used the front break..what do you think is the problem. .thanks

sr does that apply for most bikes rear brake system
Do I have to remove the back wheel to open the case to clean the pads and contact place? I can hear my beaks squeaking and if i have to remove the wheel I'll take it go a garage
Great video I have a 1978 Yamaha xs 250 I am restoring I recently put new brake shoes on the rear hub which fitted okay then when I placed the hub into the wheel they fitted however when I tried to turn the hub it would move slightly then jam up this is my second new set of brake shoes is there some way of freeing them up as there is no adjustment for the drum unlike what there is on a car or do I fix the wheel to the bike and turn it to try to bond the shoes in ? any ideas ? and the hub itself on the wheel is all okay
bro what are the tool required for a long bike ride.. Please say
Excellent video. Short and sweet. Thanks for the info! Just changed the tube on my 81xs400 cafe needed to make sure I did it right hahah
very helpful thanks fella
I know this is old but what a cool and pretty rare Honda , Those and any of the old early 1970s CB Honda's are becoming extinct and very desirable to collectors , wish I still had my 1965 CB 350 that I sold in perfect condition in 1985 for $600 , O o
thanks for another great video. I've got a front drum on a 73CL350 and it is either off or totally locked up. What is causing that?
Just took min apart and replaced!! Adjusting worked great thanks man
can i ask which is better drum break or a disc break?
I just put new brake shoes on a 08 650 V Star, I hear squeaking , I have lubed the rods, and it still squeaks, could it be the springs have come loose?
