Hello,
I recently purchased a 2006 Yamaha Virago 250 and although it passed safety and I can ride it ok, the rear brake tends to stick or lock up when applied too quick. I hear a louder clunk and it clamps down hard, then releases and is fine for a bit until it does it again. I can control the bike fine using my front break and rear together since I know what to expect, but I would like to smooth out the rear brake experience.
Any thoughts on what this might be and is it a fix I could do myself as a non mechanical guy? I would like to try and do as much work on my bike as I can myself over time.
Thanks
