So I have never owned a 4 wheeler, and I happened to be riding the other day and I looked at the mechanism for the rear brakes on my 400ex. How do you add fluid to the system for example when you change the rear pads?

Should be a resavor above the brake pedle. Thats were mine is. Has a black plastic cap on it.

The pads last quite a long time. Especially the rear.

ok so the problem here is I didn't look close enough the other day. I bet when I look at it tomorrow I will smack myself on the forehead!

Happens to all of us some time or another

LOL!!!!!!!!!! Did you ever replace your handle bars??

 

[clemsonteg]

haha, no, I figured I should make sure I know how to ride it and don't flip it myself before I go replacing parts. So far I haven't had much time to ride, I did however find time to bust my a$$ the other day when I found out its not a good idea to try and pop a wheelie full throttle in first gear from a stop. Turns out the entire 4 wheeler will go completely vertical, dump you off the back, and then continue going on its own haha!

Try that again but this time have someone with a camera to film it. LOL

I did that on the MX track a few times right of the starting line.

Here is another noob question. I was screwing around with the parking brake the other day (out of adjustment or something becuase it doesn't work haha) and I grabbed hold of the rear rotor and I could wiggle it from left to right a little bit. Is that normal?

 

[TRX2fiveO]

Um No I don't think it's supposed to have side to side motion.

I am out of town again and won't be home for 2 weeks, but it isn't really the rotor that moves, I think it is actually the hub that is attached to the axle that the rotor bolts to that is moving.
