Ive got a terra moto 125, and when ive been riden for half an hour the brakes just seem to seez up then they get really hot. so i let it cool down and there fine for another half an hour. and some times after they cool down they stick, has any one else had this problem?
Any help would be good
thanks

front or rear, if rear look down to where your foot is, i bet it is touching the rear brakes, just holding them on enough to heat them up - then cooking followed by locking,
*note to self look down more often*

its the front and back are doin it but the front doesnt heat up, it just catchs but you can still ride it, yer it mite be a bit of that but i still think there somthing else wrong with the rear brakes

Had the rear problem on my thumpy, i just gave it some more free play in the adjustement ... it was to close and just locked up... never had the problem on the front.

The rear is easy... there is a nut on he brake pistion, just gotta back it off more... as for the front i dunno... maybe your issue is on he front brake lever itself.
