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.
