How I Fixed This Floppy Brake Pedal | 1996 RM250

They no longer make brake pedals for this bike, but fortunately you can replace the bushing to remove the play at the pivot!

Hey . Toujours aussi fascinant.. Continue..un vrai plaisir à regarder.😉

[@justinhelmer7197]

Did you have to press the old bolt in with the bench vice or did it kind of fall right in? Thanks

[@zardportugal]

Beautiful.

[@gosolobox]

I will be doing this. Thank you.

[@Akmountainman]

What size bushing did you order? I have the same problem with an 03 RM250

[@madmarc]

yours may be a different size, but this was mine: Multipurpose 932 Bearing Bronze Sleeve Bearing for 15 mm Shaft Diameter, for 21 mm Housing ID, 16 mm Long

[@crazyhenry6287]

Can’t find the bushings anywhere for a 2003 rm 125

[@madmarc]

Do you know what size it is?

[@someoneyouknow96]

I was going to have a brass one machined. Looks like I need to press mine out and start measuring. I need to order the new bolt. I think I measured my bolt at slightly under 15mm. On the outside of the original bushing it was over 16mm. I had a full mm of play. That pedal was sloppy!

[@brianspengler7932]

Can you tell me what you go with my buddies going through the same thing

[@someoneyouknow96]

@brianspengler7932 I might measure it all up this weekend. I have the new bolt and I can press the original bushing out and mic it.

[@brianspengler7932]

@@someoneyouknow96 appreciate it man

[@jeffhansen4592]

[@madmarc]

Very satisfying to watch you take the old worn out item and bring it back to life. 👍

Thanks George!

[@Mitchlovin145_mx]

Did you have new bushings made?

[@madmarc]

No, the main one I found on Mcmaster's: www.mcmaster.com/products/bushings/bushings~/multipurpose-sleeve-bearings-8/ And the little ones I found on ebay.
