New to the forum and to scooters
 
Hey guys!
I have a 150cc Adventure scooter

I'm having trouble with my brakes, I'm nervous to buy pads or rear brakes because i have already bought the wrong size pads and cant return them. Have any suggestions on how to make sure i buy the right parts? Im a do it yourself kind of person so i refuse to go to a shop.

think headed, Livvy

woot thanks, if the rear brakes are in the rim of the wheel, does that mean its drum style?

Hey!
You got a new scoot?

If so, the brakes need to settle. They will over a course of ~500 miles, so just give them time to settle.
Use them carefully in the beginning (meaning, don't rely on them in emergency situations). After a while they would get better.

Yes it does. You need shoes not pads a picture of your rear wheel would end all guessing

Welcome to the Forums. :)
Lots of great help, fun, and stories here.

There are some great Scooter Gods here.

What year is your Adventure? My father has a 2006 150 Adventure, and he loves it.
