Man, I wish I knew about you guys back when I had my '84 XT. That bike was close to being perfect

Thanks for a great video. It was very clear in both the description and the videography. You've earned a new customer. Thanks again.

Posted this at the perfect time, I was just looking how to clean drum breaks on my 84 honda I just bought

Almost saved myself from hitting another KTM Duke 250 from behind while going to commuting to office on Yamaha RX135 2stroke. Weather was slightly rainly. I grabbed the brakes as hard as I could. But, front brake was non existent. Have to inspect them now. Or might upgrade to Disc.

cool video folks ! My 2021 crf110 is my only bike with drum brakes🤙 The brake power is ok for such a little fun bike

This is why I buy from you guys exclusively, I love these how to videos. You guys have taught me so much just from doing these videos! Thanks guys

great video thanks

You can rub valve lapping compound inside the drum and jack the wheel up and set it on a electric treadmill then apply the front brake and put a rubber band around the lever and grip. turn the treadmill on and let it ride for awhile then check. It will take out a high spot in the drum and remove deep grooves

I can still vividly remember that Justin was the crowd favorite amongst my friends. The 5 MOH series was also the reason I bought (and still restoring) a Yamaha DT 125.

I have drum brakes on my bike, but the front brake snatches disturbingly. I have done all of the servicing that you describe here, but wonder if the age of the shoes is an issue.

my front drum on my 77' IT250 was giving me lots of trouble, cable didnt fit (to long) even though it said it was an exact fit, later found out my front drum brake (not the hub) is from a yz250 it fits the same hub but it uses a double leading shoe vs the single on the IT, clock the armatures down a bit and it works great not

Hallo,i have a problem with my dt125 front brake drum,its stuck when i push forward n normal when pull backward,but while on the bike stand,no problem at all,..can u tell me,tq

Whats the thing that holds the rod called? I lost mine and need one

breakpad |_______ before |_/_/_/_/ after is it right to add spike?

I cleaned my brakes but when I put them back on the bike they will not engage, not sure how to fix it

I did everything and front brake performance in my splendor plus is still poor.. there is no initial bite at all, however when I press harder, it got good stopping power.. but because there is not enough initial bite, it ruins my confidence..😅.. Here in india in lower cc segment drum brakes are still common.. In most bikes the drum brakes are good enough. but in my bike I don't know what's the problem.. 😢..

Great advice. 10,10 feel free to lube the chain while ur at it.

wow the rear wheel is warped pretty significantly. 10:05

if that's warped, then i've been riding on ovals my whole life

Why isn’t the drum and shoes lathed to perfect roundness and fit??? Not even checked!!???

why you shouldn't soak any chemicals on brake shoe liners.

Do not spray brake cleaner on brake shoe, it will absorb it and ruin your shoes

You'll probably want to hear a bit of drag on your drum or you'll have a ton of pedal travel to get the bike to stop.

Yes, but only a minimal shhh sound should be heard. My 80s Yamaha has only one adjust bolt and ask for small resistance.

can i clean with soap and water?

You can but brake clean will work much better.
