How to replace RH brake master cylinder only on 2017 GY6?
I have a question. My bank is being held back and it sounds like the front brake pads are rubbing on the road so would I have to bring those and it came from the warehouse that way so I have to bleed them or not I don’t know how to replace it. Fix that problem.
It sounds like your front brake pads are rubbing against the rotor, which can be a common issue with new scooters. Here are a few steps you can take to diagnose and fix this problem:
Check Brake Pad Alignment: Sometimes the brake pads can be slightly misaligned. Check to see if the pads are properly seated in the caliper and not tilted or off-center.
Inspect for Debris: Make sure there is no debris or dirt between the brake pads and the rotor, as this can cause rubbing and noise.
Brake Caliper Adjustment: The caliper might need adjusting. Loosen the bolts holding the caliper slightly, then squeeze the brake lever to center the caliper over the rotor before tightening the bolts again.
Bleeding the Brakes: If the brake lever feels spongy or if there's air in the brake lines, you might need to bleed the brakes. This involves opening the brake fluid reservoir, attaching a tube to the brake bleeder valve, and pumping the brake lever while opening and closing the valve to let out air bubbles. If you're not familiar with this process, it might be best to have a professional do it.
Check for Warp: Inspect the rotor to ensure it's not warped. A warped rotor can cause continuous rubbing and will need to be replaced if it is.
If the scooter arrived from the warehouse with this issue, it might be covered under warranty, so you could contact the seller or manufacturer for support or possible replacement of faulty parts. If you're uncomfortable performing these checks and repairs yourself, taking your scooter to a professional mechanic is a good idea.
Nice set up my friend !!!
Hello Clifford thank you for watching my video
Have you did your vale injustment i did on my scooter i have to check my brakes thank you for the video stay safe
Hello Nathan yes I did my valve adjustment few months ago thank you for watching my video
Helped me allot
Thank you for watching my video
Hello, I'm a big fan of your videos, are very clear and helpful.
I got a gy6 scooter and I haven't use it for about 2 years; the question is that the brake fluid turns into a jelly and I don't know hoy to bleed it... I was thinking to connect an air compressor to release the fluid and to empty the brake hose.
What do you think ? Please help me 😔
Hello my friend yes air compressor is the best for cleaning the hose just make sure you protect your eyes. Thank you for watching my video
My bike is 6 months old. When riding at 35 mph, the brake gets spongy and I have to pump the lever to slow it down. Why? I have no leaks.
Hello my friend when you ride your scooter the center of gravity for fluid change so if you forward the gravity fluid are pointing back so there’s a possibility that you have low brake fluid in the reservoir or you have air inside the caliper so the easy thing to do is to place your scooter level and on the center stand and check your reservoir if you have brake fluid and add more if you need . Thank you for watching my video
@@VirberelloScooterTips
Thank you. I filled the back brake reservoir a month ago while on the kickstand. I will check on center stand. How often do you change your engine oil? Do you use 10w 30 or can I use thicker oil?
Thank you very much for your videos, they are very helping!
i work on my kymco 125cc scooter (deliveries) and i noticed this brake fluid valve was open and i drove like this for an hour +-
do i need to change my brake fluid now? its feels braking little differently, but brakes works.
also, i have photos of motor which i would like to get help with, where can i send them?
thnaks you again love your work!
Hello Duke if the valve was open for 1 hr for sure you lost lots of brake fluid and you enter air in the caliper so you will need to place little more fluid in the reservoir and build up pressure on the line and push out few air bubble that you have inside the caliper or in the brake line I'm not familiar on Kymco if you you like to place a photo or make little video of the engine go to Chinese Project Scooters on facebook group there is lots of good members with good knowledge and I'm in there too. Thank you for watching my video and be safe
@@VirberelloScooterTips ok i will check the fluid at the garage, but i can see its almost full on the handle so i think it has air.
Thanks for quick respond and keep up with your great work people like you are rare in my experience!
Hello my friend. I just tried this for the first time. Not sure if I have done it properly. Even though my rear brake works, the brake lever is too close to the grip when I press the brake. It is twice as close as my front. I also changed the rear caliper and put new pads in, so I cannot understand why the lever is close to the grips. Can you help me please?
Certainly, I can provide some guidance on this issue. If the brake lever is too close to the grip after bleeding the brake fluid and changing the rear caliper and pads, there could be a few reasons for this:
Air in the Brake Line:
Air bubbles may still be present in the brake line. Make sure to properly bleed the brake system again to ensure all air is removed. Ensure that the brake fluid reservoir is kept topped up during the bleeding process.
Improper Bleeding Technique:
Ensure that you followed the correct bleeding procedure for your scooter. Sometimes, a specific sequence needs to be followed to remove all air from the brake system.
Brake Adjustment:
Check if there are any adjustments on the brake lever itself. Some scooters have adjustable levers that allow you to change the distance from the grip. If so, you can adjust the lever to your preferred distance.
Brake Pad Installation:
Confirm that the brake pads are installed correctly. Sometimes, improper installation of brake pads can affect the lever position. Ensure that the pads are seated properly in the caliper and that there are no obstructions.
Master Cylinder Issues:
The master cylinder may have some issues. Check if there is any leakage around the master cylinder or if there are any visible problems. If needed, rebuild or replace the master cylinder.
Brake System Inspection:
Inspect the entire brake system for any leaks or loose connections. Make sure all components are in good condition and properly tightened.
If, after checking these points, the issue persists, it might be a good idea to consult with a professional mechanic or refer to your scooter's service manual for specific troubleshooting steps. Brake systems are critical for safety, so it's crucial to ensure they are functioning correctly.
I hope this can help you
Hello. Thanks for the advice I will check as much as I can. I go to garage tmrw for tyre change so may be able to get a bit of help. After thinking about how I did it I may have done the bleeding wrong. I think I was pumping then closing the lever, then opening and closing the nipple and then repeating. Another chap I watched opens the nipple, compresses the lever, closes the nipple and then opens the lever. Seems to be more than one way to do it, but I think the way I did it was wrong and has caused this problem. @@VirberelloScooterTips
Hi, thanks for the detailed illustration. May I know where is the reservoir for the rear brake(I assume it's a drum brake)? or it is not using hydraulic system?
Hello on gye6 you don't have a read disc brake or a reservoir but some scooter have one thank you for watching my video
I’m becoming quite the scooter mechanic thanks to you!
I bought a 2015 Lance 150 and the front brake handle doesn’t have any tension when I press it. The back brake does. Any ideas where to start troubleshooting?
Thank you!
Hello my friend you could have very old and thick fluid or no brake fluid in the reservoir or the lever piston seals are damaged . Thank you for watching my video
@@VirberelloScooterTips yes, that was it. For others, my reservoir has a plastic piece where you can see the fluid and this has broken, making the fluid leak. I have to replace the whole brake handle unit with the reservoir.

Hi I changed my left brake lever and it seems as if the brake light won’t turn off and I can start it without pulling the left brake. Any suggestions?
Hello you need to check the brake switch at the lever there is a possibility that you need to replace that with a new one or just check if the contact of the switch are clean sometime grease or dirt or oxidation inside the connection can give you problems
You are so engaging and seem really happy to share your knowledge and love for the scooter with others... Hope you are well and thanks for the videos. I chuckle sometimes at how amped up you get to work on these as I get pissed and grieved over some of the stuff I try figuring out! This my friend, is where your videos come into play and you are right, we must service and take care of the blessings that God gives to us no matter how small or big. 🙋👍🛵
Hello my friend thank you for watching my video and be safe
What is the best break oil to use on a gy6.i have 49cc
Dot 3 is great but if you live in a hot location better dot 4 that can withstand more heat before it starts to break down making it better for high performance oil
@@VirberelloScooterTips thanks
great information but don't the rear brakes have to get bleeded out too?
Hello yes if your scooter have a disk brake in the back you can do the same process in the rear side but my scooter in the rear side have a drum brake so no break fluid in the back for me
@@VirberelloScooterTips thank you
HOOOWWWWW lol I love it lol
Hello BiggWith2Gs thank you for watching my video
You're welcome
Keep showing us HOOOOWWWW 👍🏾
Does this same rule apply to back brakes? I assume you do the exact same thing?
Hello Marcel yes same process thank you for watching my video
So its safe to say this will take some time before pressure can be made?
before you ride the scooter you need to make sure you have pressure in your brake if you don't make an inspection of your fluid line and try to pressure again your brakes by opening the valve at the caliper and pulling the brake and without releasing the brake close the caliper valve
Sorry, what I mean is, is the porcess of bleeding the breaks supposed to take time or can it be as simple as not seeing any bubbles in the line and you are good to go?@@VirberelloScooterTips
@@sterben.7059 If you have no more air in the line and your brakes are working you should be ready to go and test your brake at low speed
After bleeding the breaks until I could not see any more air bubbles I went for a test ride and notices a little difference but still not 100%. Would this be because I did not bleed the brakes enough or do I need to bleed the master cylinder?
- Cheers@@VirberelloScooterTips
@@sterben.7059 did you try to prime the pressure 3 times open the valve at the caliper pull the brake lever 3 times and at the last hold the brake and close the caliper valve at the same time without releasing the brake lever
