Rear Brake Replacement 1981 Yamaha XV750 - Vintage Yamaha Backyard Restoration EP 26

[@Jonnybones-81Virago]

I just bought one of these bikes as a project and I’m fixing it up. These videos are some of the best I can find for the Yamaha Virago 750

If it stops and goes then success lol cheers

Absolutely!

Any point in greasing the axle? Always seems like it oughta have a little something on it. Sooo... does it stop now?

[@vintageyamahabackyardresto4995]

It had some grease already on it. I am planning on changing both front and back tires this week, so I will pack the spline with some marine grade grease :) She stops wonderfully now!

Do you have to change something else for the rear brakes? I know you change the rotors and brake pads on the front one bc the pads wear on the rotor but what does the rear wear on?

[@vintageyamahabackyardresto4995]

The rear brakes (shoes) wear on the hub) I don't think the hub is easily replaceable because the spokes/tines go through the hub. Check out this video for a better visual explanation. Thanks! kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3e2dJamltJsm5I
