I got new pads and bled them a couple of times. They still are week. What next? New lines? I have breaks but they are very week. They will not even lock up. Please give me some advice.

Why did you have to bleed them if you just replaced the pads? It sounds like there is still some air in the lines. Just going to have to keep bleeding them.

I just got this quad about three weeks ago. The first ride I took it on the brakes were gone. I took it home and discovered the pads were wasted. I installed new ones and took it riding the next week and they were better but not much stopping power. I bleed them once while on the trail and once at the trailer. They got better but still not good. I will bleed them again and see what happens.

Get Stainless steel lines, you will be able to tell a huge difference. The stock rubber lines expand when you pull the lever.

I got steel braided lines for my 400ex and learned how to bleed the brakes on here with no problem. For some reason this time with new pads and all, they brake lever still feels really mushy. Can you help me out?
