Doh! 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

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

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.

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.
