kz550 LTD rear brakes was created by arswagger
HI all. I just got done replacing the rear sprocket on my bike, and now that I have everything put back together The rear brake doesn't work. Did I forgot something? It has a drum brake if that makes a difference.
Thanks
Eddy

Did you loosen the torque link before you removed the wheel? Also the last thing you should do is give the rear wheel a good spin before you tighten the axel nuts. Jam the rear brake on and hold it while you tighten the axel nuts. This centers and "seats" the shoes in the rear brake drum.
