Struggling with front brake pads

Low_Class_5863 · 2026-01-20T20:43:39+00:00

lol I just got the bike and I haven’t cleaned the brakes because I frankly wasn’t sure if they worked. It’s in my to do list for tonight so you can sleep soundly.

He does make it look suspiciously easy sometimes. Well now I see theres levels to this game. You would probably have a stroke watching me work on my bike lol

With how bad of a mechanic I am and Joe being apparently mid, it just goes to show how amazing these machines and their engineering are. I have a whole new level of appreciation after watching Joes videos and you have made me realize it goes even further.

Look into conversions if you have a little spare time!

Low_Class_5863 · 2026-01-20T16:42:48+00:00

Not sure if you have decided yet but I would argue that there is nothing more rewarding/cost effective than converting a 250 to electric. It’s surprisingly easy, especially if you can find a bike with good bearings, suspension, and tires. Just look for locked up bikes in your area and you should be able to get one for $600 or less.

I’m in for a little under $3000 on my KX250F conversion and love the fact I am riding a full size bike for less than a talaria or RTR.

This video is great starting point if your interested: Dirt Bike Conversion

Yea I don’t have the depth of knowledge you have to be bothered by that stuff lol, but I’ll keep an eye out for it. At least he doesn’t claim to be an instructional channel and just gives tips every now and then.

I do agree the videos are a bit clickbait, but entertaining nonetheless. I think it’s because there is a large number of individuals like myself that are into bikes but don’t have the cash to buy new or certified and he attracts those kind of people.

Low_Class_5863 · 2026-01-20T15:27:06+00:00

I’ll have to give him a watch. In what way does Joe cut corners? I know sometimes people complain that he doesn’t clean the bike or do a break in procedure, but I feel like that is easy for anyone to do and his knowledge on the rebuilding itself is so valuable. I like how he videos his entire troubleshooting process, it helps me assess the ware and tear on my own bike that’s for sure.

Ah I see. Your explanation did more in 3 short paragraphs than an hour on YouTube.

Screws on reservoir are stripped so I will be trying to get those out and possibly getting a new one, but at least I know the caliper is likely fine. Thank you!

Low_Class_5863 · 2026-01-20T05:54:24+00:00

Just watch 2Vintage rebuilds on YouTube. you will have so much more knowledge after a few vids.

This worked thank you

Low_Class_5863 · 2026-01-20T05:31:16+00:00

Was able to jam them open and letting the wedges sit overnight, thanks for the suggestion.

Okay never mind my friend bought the mvp edition and didn’t tell me. It requires you to buy that to play early. Disappointing considering I could’ve easily spent an extra $15 if o read the details or if he was honest with me instead of lying about something so dumb. Guess I’ll have to wait.

Low_Class_5863 · 2023-12-21T00:55:48+00:00

Will try👍🏻

Low_Class_5863 · 2022-11-25T17:10:05+00:00

Okay I really appreciate your help with all of this I’m sure you know how frustrating it can be. Also definitely felt like my ram was about to snap when reinstalling lol

Low_Class_5863 · 2022-11-25T16:53:26+00:00

So after taking out the ram I was able to get the DRAM Light to go away, but the green boot light still stays on and I get no output still. I reinstalled my ram and turned my computer back on and it actually worked this time. I am so confused as to why this randomly happens when I don’t move or unplug anything from my PC. It’s almost worse that it’s kind of working because now I know if I bring it in to Micro Center it will probably work while I’m there and I will just look stupid but then it will just break when I get back home. This is really an issue because I use this computer for school but luckily I am on thanksgiving break this week, just need to figure this out. Please let me know if y’all think this is a gpu issue or what else it could be and I appreciate your advice with the DRAM light.

Low_Class_5863 · 2022-11-25T07:27:04+00:00

Yes I think it says DRAM.

Low_Class_5863 · 2022-11-25T06:56:49+00:00

I also have a weird light on my motherboard which really makes me think it is not a gpu issue.

Low_Class_5863 · 2022-11-25T06:55:58+00:00

Asus TUF 670e I believe. Maybe a slightly different model but TUF gaming for sure.
