Baja Warrior MB200GC - rear brake pads

[frostyflammable]

First off no pics, picked it up last night and it was dark... pics will follow once I get home and are able to take some. Also facebook marketplace is evil, too many good deals towards end of summer on karts and bikes.

Basically got this sample for $200, and while it has been stored outside for some time and the chain is pretty rusted, but the engine fires up first pull and idles every so smoothly.

My question is about the rear brake setup , I want to get new brake shoes for it since the current ones are pretty past it and I think I found on that some Honda originals fit right in and they have been ordered. However I cannot find for the life of me instructions on how this is done... either on youtube or on any forums. Does anyone have any instructions on this before I start to do exploratory surgery?

Thanks,
Daniel

if you got the honda originals, make sure you got the springs that hold them together.

heres the instructions
replace the brakes
use basic tools, eyes, and hands to assist.

You will need to rent a brake shoe puller from Checker auto.

They are far and few between and are the only guys with the right sized brake shoe puller. But the real trick with these shoes is the springs they are different than the stock ones.

And I thought you were talking about the burger joint. They have mostly been converted into what looks like drive through payday loan places. All except this one...https://www.yelp.com/biz/checkers-restaurant-dixmoor

There's a Checkers burger joint about 500 yards from where I am sitting.

I purchased the whole kit, the pads and springs.

As promised some pics. I did a whole lot of cleaning (it was really muddy), new chains and also the muffler and air filter thingy was looking bad. I had some things left over from a predator 212 and it bolted right up. May do a performance kit at some point but for now, and just about $215 spent on this bike its pretty good to me.

I am thinking of a torque converter on it but so far the clutch is working just fine for me.

That's the experience I have with mine--it starts on the first pull every time and with just a casual pull, no less. Better than any brand-spankin'-new Predator engine I have. How odd.

If you pull off the primary chain cover, it seems that 10 to 1 that chain never got lubed but the secondary one is always greasy.

I have already removed that janky *extra* exhaust heat shield, seen in your last pic, which was doing no real good. The muffler already has a shield but the whole exhaust assembly is tucked under the seat pretty well and out of reach of fleshly bits.

I had it off when I was putting on a replacement muffler but weirdly I kind of like it there for some odd reason. Figured I'd keep it for the time being but I do want to get a maxtorque clutch since the current one is on its way out. Maybe even some new jackshaft bearings...

You're just weird. The shield is superfluous metal and heavy too.

Ol' BBQJoe has a thread somewhere showing his efforts with a new exhaust pipe he added along with a perforated heat shield. That's the least of what the factory heat shield needs--holes would help cool the metal even more.

Why would you need new jackshaft bearings on such a low mileage machine?

When I was changing the chain I manually spun the jack shaft and it didn’t feel very smooth.

Maybe I missed something, but is this what you need?
