My rear brakes sre frozen up. You can push the break lever down and it will stay down. It will engage the brake though it is just the leverthat will freeze up. I would appriciate it. ThanX!!!!!!!! I have a race this weekend!!!!!!!!

Pull the lever out, clean it up, grease it up, re-install it. Good to go.

check ur brake pads, you may need new ones, if the pads are all gone, when the brakes are engaged there isnt enough pressure to push the lever back

check your return spring, it goes to the frame by your footpeg

Just pull the lever like said above. Worked miracles for me!

well i fixed it today and it was the brake pads. My brake pads were wore out because my bearings were out in my rear end. So I hope I can still Race this weekend still.

ya well, I try not to let things stop me from going riding.

I had a blaster that had no rear brakes, I got used to it after a while. so I figured I would just get used to it again on the 400ex.. man was I wrong.
