Hey, I've got a 2000 Yamaha YZF 600r.
The front break is REALLY WEAK and unsafe, I dont know what happened
I let the gf ride it for like a month, and IDK what happened, its just really weak
(Maybe shes trying to kill me) IDK
But how do you fix a front brake so its not so weak ???

 

1. check brake fluids
2. check the lines
3. bleed the system (if u dont know how...nows the time to learn)

 

+1 on that... there's probably air in the brake lines.

make your g/f do all the work though

I've got a 00 Yamaha YZF 600r
Let the girlfriend ride it for a month or two while I was out of town, and I dont know what happened but when I got back I rode it and
THE FRONT BRAKE IS REALLY WEAK
and has close to no stopping power

can someone please give me some advice
im far from a mechanic but I need this fixed, ( !!! it's a big time safety hazard !!! )

 

Check the front brake pads just like you do in a car

 

+1. also bent rotors, melted/cut lines, brake fluid... everything. If it's all good, you need to bleed them with a pressure bleeder. I take mine to a shop for this because it can be a pain in the ass.

 

How much do you think it will run to get the brakes fixed ?
Because the shop I had it done at were supposed to have it fixed, and it was for about a month but now its just real weak
And can you reccomend any good/inexpensive places ?

 

she let another dude ride it that did alot of stoppies

 

haha, wouldn't doubt it

 

Ahhh Help Me
