No rear brake feel??

[Nick JacksonMember]

I have very little rear brake feel on my Drz and was woundering if this is a commen thing and how to improve it? It’s been like it from new and I have changed nothing but been using mainly front braking and engine brake but a rear brake would be nice. I rode STM s wr250f and the first thing I noticed was the great brakes.
Can anyone help??

Try a softer pad mate will improve the braking give more feel. Also get a good disc brake cleaner to clean the disc before hand. Sand the coating of the new pads and happy days, down side they wear quicker but thats ok.

Muc-Off make a good disc cleaner I have some and am impressed

Thanks for the advice TB
what brand pad do you recommend ?
Where do I get Muc- off disk cleaner?
Would braided brake lines help?

All of the above from Sutto’s, ring 47394392 ask for Mal or Scotty tell them you are an Old Bull, tell them TB sent you and you need softer pads. They will send them tomorrow you will have them for the weekend

The braided line is more for a spongy pedal, but hey can only help. Normally people only fit them on the front try the pads first with a quailty fluid as well, change the fluid as well yeah

WR = good rear brake
KLR = not so good rear brake

(That is on my bikes at least)
