Razor MX650 Hydro Conversion Part 2 | Installing the Bigger Rotors and Bleeding the Brake Fluid

[@oneoldjimmy1]

Appreciate the videos and links! Just ordered new brakes for my sx500!

[@Mr69elco]

What if you cut a slit in the ring in the fork and expand it with a flat screw driver so you fit the line in. That way you don’t have to undo the line from the brake level.

[@PatOutdoors]

I suppose that's one way to do it, but I prefer not to cut the fork. I'm gonna repaint everything later on anyway so I'm likely gonna redo all the routing when I strip the bike down again. Appreciate the input!

[@DubJay315]

Thanks again!

[@TURBOMOOSE]

Awesome man. 👌 I know what my next upgrade is gunna be 😉 also picked up a mx500 for the wife so that'll be another build coming soon!

[@PatOutdoors]

Hell yeah man! I may actually be doing a new Razor build for my wife-to-be.

[@TURBOMOOSE]

@@PatOutdoors yeah man my wife has no idea about it, lmao. So I'm gunna build it on the side while she's at work. Get everything ordered and installed and then justxgift it all said and done lol

[@DirtDigglerDetecting]

Yayyyy group Ride :)

[@PatOutdoors]

Yeah I'm freaking excited. Though no Razors. It's an odd group with one person being on a One-wheel

[@DirtDigglerDetecting]

​@@PatOutdoors All the ones i watch it is mixed so thats ok. Going to be Fun . I am slowly pulling myself out of a hole i dug myself so, i am getting closer to getting my Ebike build. and start playing. 2 jobs is like 2 ladders out of a hole. Sure makes it easier to climb hehehehe .

[@xixamxforgottenx]

I am following you exact steps. Am curious if there was a way to have the motor cut off when break is applied with these breaks like stock?

[@kvcobrav7871]

Hey... Just did this and realized that there's no brake cutoff signal lines to connect to the controller. How do you get your rear tail lights to come on when braking? Your Vids have helped me greatly btw.... Thanks.

[@PatOutdoors]

I switched over to larger pit bike brakes (with built in brake switches) later on with this bike. But I miss this Zoom brake because the trigger feel was better.

[@DirtDigglerDetecting]

Is that a hammer drill ? Sounds like it. I wouldn't use that. I have Busted weak bolts before. I like the way you work. Investigate the noise and fix the problem. You Rock buddy. Love your videos my Man :)

[@PatrickKasilag]

Lol no, cmon man. It’s just a Craftsman 3/8” impact driver. I do (however) have a Ryobi impact drill that I used to drill the holes on the motor haha

[@DirtDigglerDetecting]

@@PatrickKasilag Just be careful, I snapped a sheet rock screw in wood ramp i built with just a 20v clutch drill. Clutch was off but still LOL . hahahahaha. Can't wait to see that group ride :) Love this Build

[@matthewwagner8875]

Need to see a MTB fork install!

[@PatOutdoors]

Feeling pressure here haha. I'm still looking more into because I don't really wanna swap out my front wheel that I just installed a new street tire on just yet!

[@jmac8518]

Noticed on the Amazon link it specifically says left front right rear. How did you switch it so the left was the rear and right was the front?

[@PatOutdoors]

That description is meant for mountain bike applications since these brakes were originally designed for those. I simply mounted it so the rear lever was on the left and front lever was on the rear. Also if you ever need to switch it later, you just disconnect the brake hose from the lever and bleed the brakes after install.

[@CaleFerg5]

what wheels are you rocking?

[@Mark_kuk21]

When you disconnect the hose from the lever does it ever get stuck if yes how do I get the hose out?

[@PatOutdoors]

There’s a brass compression fitting at the end of the hose that keeps it sealed when tightened into the lever. Just pull after completely taking out the lock nut

[@Mark_kuk21]

@@PatOutdoors ok thanks

[@SMG59-]

any recommendations for pads?

[@Miles_is_cool]

How often do you have to bleed the brakes

[@Huckeys2]

once or twice a year pretty much

[@grantharris7451]

Did the rotors you put in your description come with one or two?

[@PatOutdoors]

Comes as a pair

[@grantharris7451]

@@PatOutdoors even though on the Amazon listing it only shows one?

[@Durangoturango22]

I just put the back brake on but It has bad drag is there a way to fix that?

[@PatOutdoors]

Did you install the thinner rotors? It could be misaligned on the caliper adapter bracket. Loosen, realign, retighten

[@Durangoturango22]

⁠@@PatOutdoorsI did but I got it to stop rubbing by toying it some more but thanks 😊

Because it looks like it’s just one

@@PatOutdoorsoh ok thank you so much 😃

[@roguecoyote1278]

Does the fluid leak out when you disconnect the hose from the lever?

[@PatOutdoors]

Barely, unless you squeeze the lever. You should still bleed the air out regardleas

[@face0074]

What size is your tire

[@robferratto8379]

Hello! Just a note that all the rear brake issues are because the rotor is bent, most likely from putting pressure on it when removing the hub adapters. When the bolt was hitting the rotor spoke and dragging, it's only one spoke. All the rest cleared. Sorry to be a Debbie Downer - Appreciate the resource for my own build!

[@PatOutdoors]

That did come up in my mind, but after running it a few times and applying the brakes, any bit of drag went away. I didn't put much pressure at all on the rotor when I removed the hub. I honestly suspect it's just a machining tolerance flaw on one of the spokes or just the package was dropped a few times during shipping is also possible.

[@SirusTheVirus]

Front and back rotors are the same?

[@PatOutdoors]

At the time of this video, yes same. Now has a pit bike front brake with a 195mm front rotor

[@Oliedo]

Can you install 180mm ?

[@PatOutdoors]

I couldn't find any with the correct bolt pattern for the wheels.

[@rsinghsivia585]

Can this Setup Also work for Mx500?

[@PatOutdoors]

Yes, it's essentially the same exact frame / fork

[@awhxnicoleyyplayz5972]

Has anyone installed the shimano brake lever kit he recommends?

[@PatOutdoors]

What shimano kit? I’m using zoom brakes

[@awhxnicoleyyplayz5972]

In your description you have a link to Shimano levers with JG adapters. I was thinking of buying these knowing that Shimano is a well known brand and then get the 48mm rotors you suggest.

[@DistractionSB]

Hey Patt! Does this fit on a stock mx650 wheel?

[@PatOutdoors]

These are the stock wheels on the bike. Careful on the rotors you choose, regular mountain bike rotors do not fit, must be the earlier bolt pattern. Check the rotors in the description

[@DubJay315]

Are you anti Electric & Co? Or trying to get better prices? Curious. Thanks!

[@PatOutdoors]

Not at all! Just couldn’t afford it at the time of this build.

[@DubJay315]

@@PatOutdoors Thanks. I feel ya, It is a very expensive hobby. Take care. Much respect.

For me it was a pain in the ass to take off the bolts on the rotor took me way to long 😅
