well my rear brakes have not been right for a while when i hit the rear brake leaver i have to push it all the way till it hits my exhaust and even then it reallly dosnt do anything just kinda sets aginst the rotor when i take it off it looks like the thing that pushes the pads is stuck only moves slightly and i have no tension on my brake leaver it hasnt been right since i streached it though any help advive or links would be great i stuck right now

time for a clean, new pads, fluid, and a bleed.

bleed ur brakes..

u must have air in the lines.

ur pedal should be stiff.. you still got lots of meat on those pads.

 

[Big E]

Sounds like you need to bleed the system.

 

[twotonevert]

Yep, you have air in there.

 

[Garrison34]

Thats the thing iv bleed it several times and had a shop do it once still nothing

 

[Garrison34]

another thing in the pictures that cylinder stays stuck there it never releases from that point

Make sure you do not have trash in the banjo bolts and they are tight. We had fits with Demmyms rear brakes when we bled his.

HOW-TO for a Yamaha but might help you with those stuck pistons: Brake Caliper Piston Removal

Bleed them with a Mini Vac Bleeding system, Well worth the money and makes for short work in bleeding brakes. Also like James said, Check those Banjo connections. It doesnt take much.

that piston looks pretty nasty. its probally froze in the caliper. also make sure the slides are clean and have plenty of grease.
