Ater my first race on my new to me YZ465, and the rear brake was chattering. I took it apart today to see what the problem might be. The shoes are new, the shaft does have a bit of wobble in it though...the one thru the plate that activates the brakes.
My question is about the brake stay at the rear hub. It was bolted down tight--with a hardware store bolt. The inner hole thru the hub seemed overly large.
Then it occured to me, my KX420 for instance has a bearing there so that the stay arm can pivot with the suspension. Does the 465 also need to pivot at this point? I imagine if it was supposed to, then it being bolted solid would have caused the brakes to activate with the suspension?!?!?
Hell I dunno, any advice would be appreciated!
