Rear brakes
Is there a preference for type of rear brake shoes to install on my 2005 GZ 250 ? I was going to install either the EBC organic or the grooved, unless someone has a better idea. I've had trouble with squeaking on my present ones.

I would opt for the EBC grooved brake shoes. Don't know anything about organic shoes so here's hoping somebody will enlighten me.

Seems that changing rear brake shoes every two years seems a lot. What mileage are you doing? Mine often squeak when I set off for the first time in the day. A few hard presses of the pedal clears it up.

Had a dirt bike that did the same thing. Loss of braking power was very noticeable. What I did was lightly sand blast the shoes and run some emery cloth around the brake drum to clean it up. Cheap and effective fix. |
