emergency brake doesnt look right

[bulldogbones]

Can someone post a pic of there 06 apex emergency brake. I just put mine back on and something isnt right. Its like either the rotor is to far out or there are spacers missing between the brake and the chain case.

See step by step with pics here. This is from FAQ section

Here is the parts blowup. From outside, should go Circlip, washer, Rotor w/key in shaft under it, then spacer with T-20 set screw

rotor is on backwards.

GUYS COME ON READ THE FIRST SENTENCE LOL

Rotor cant be on backwards because the caliper bolted up and slipped over the rotor perfectly.

there are 2 small sleaves that are "spacers between caliper and housing... i seems to forget them everytime... i dont have a pick right off... 6 hrs from home right now...

Same as 03 RX-1?

...and just found the section view

Good call on the 2 spacers between the EBrake and chaincase, Sherlock. As Sherlock said, the 2 spacers go on the 4mm allen head bolts between the EBrake body and the chaincase.

Here is a pic where the 2 spacers go.

Another tip:

If the rotor is getting loose (due to spacer wear at higher mileage) the parking brake pads will start to wear and the brake won't work well. Just adjusting the brake will result in more pad wear over the miles and eventually you'll run out of adjustment.

To stop the wear, pick up some gear shim stock of the right diameter and add them behind and in front of the rotor to tighten it up.

Then to compensate for the wear to the parking brake, add some small shims between the brake and the spacers NY AttakGT's picture shows and adjust the parking brake tighter. If needed you can get extra stroke length by unbolting the end of the arm and using a different set of pick up threads for the parking brake "piston" (in the parking brake housing) as well as a different set of splines for the parking brake arm. Using the combination of both of those you can fine tune the parking brake position and get a lot more use out of "worn" pads.

You want the brake to hold tight when engaged, but not to rub at all when off - even when lightly pushing the rotor in and out. If the rotor is able to rub the pads will wear (slowly).

(Unless things have changed recently) the parking brake pads are not available from Yamaha separately so if they get to bad you are forced to buy the entire parking brake assembly. The pads do just pop out so they are easy to replace if you can find them.

There must be a spacer that goes where the exposed threads are.

Yup. Missing the E-Brake spacers. they are about 1/2" diameter and about 1/2" deep and go righ between the E-brake caliper and hc chain case. Gotta be somewhere if they were on the before. Better check the "leftover parts" bin!

 

[bulldogbones]

are the spacers Alum?

 

[SHodas]

anyone know the exact size, mine are mssing as well, thanks...

 

[smoothride]

yes they are alum.
