Title: Tracker Brakes
Post by: Speedracer7c on May 30, 2004, 02:50:36 AM

Well today, my stepdad was moving my tracker and said he almost drove it into the wall in the yard.... I guess I'm just used to the brakes that way. How far is the pedal going on everyone elses trackicks. thanks Andrew

Sounds like a plan.

I don't think the pedal moves an inch on mine before the brakes start engaging.

I'd at least start with an inspection of the MC, lines, calipers, and pads to make sure everything looks good (no leaks or super worn pads).  If nothing jumps out at you, maybe you can get away with a good bleeding.

Good Luck.

I have always wondered about my brakes. I should probably fix those before I get my rims and tires.

taking up the slack

Have you been using your emergency brake?? It keeps the rear brakes adjusted.
