How can I stop my brakes from sticking and squeezing.

When riding and let off gas it's like something holds the scooter back. Put up on kickstand and started. The rear tire will not turn unwillingly give gas. My rpms are always high before scooter moves, and when let off gas immediate deceleration in speed. Tried adjusting to no avail. It's like something is sticking in the rear hub.

How do I stop my rear brakes from squeezing? I've watched the video and adjusted them to no avail. When I ride and let off the gas it's like something is holding the scooter back.

Most likely there is something sticking. You seem to be wanting to work on it..buy the manual.. You are on a car site. Not mopeds. I can and do fix them. But you wouldn't pay me the diagnoses to fix yours. Most people don't.

I Was riding and the bike just cut off. I bought new switch and checked fuses but is still won't crank. Ideas?

Just a thought... remove the gas line if anyone of Ron 's suggestions doesn't work and see if there is fuel getting from the tank to the line... could be a plugged fuel filter or air filter

Brake system of a scooter

There is a parking brake lever at the back, but if you're talking about stopping the scooter while riding it, there are no separate brakes.
taking your finger off the power lever turns the electric motor into an electric generator which slows and stops the scooter very quickly.

Feels like I'm being held back

Sounds like your brakes are sticking. Possibly the emergency brake is not disengaging entirely? Stop the car and put in park. Apply emergency brake as hard/far as possible. Then release and put in drive and try to go. Most emergency brakes are self adjusting. If the problem still persists, have it taken to your mechanic.

Scooter seems louder than it should be... a sort of grinding noise when you push it along on the ground, and/or ride it. The sound isn't harsh, but it is not a stealth scooter by any means. Tried...

No it is not if you are riding it the chain can suddenly stop and you will be thrown off head first off of the scooter and die. DO NOT AND I MEAN DO NOT RIDE UNTILL IT IS PRACTICALLY SILENT. CAUSE ONE TIME I WAS RIDING IT, THE CHAIN STOPPED AND FLUNG ME OFF. I BROKE MY RIB CAGE, BOTH OF MY LEGS, AND MY ARMS. I HAD TO STAY IN THE HOSPITAL FOR A MONTH. THEY HAD TO PUT ME ON BREATHING TUBES BECAUSE MY LUNGS WERE CLASPING. I RECOVERED BUT NOW IM PARALYZED FROM THE WAIST DOWN.

My mobility scooter reacts slowly or not at all from a dead start but once on motion seems ok it also seems to work better at a higher speed

Paul there can be brake problems and or motor problems with this scooter. I have had to replace both the motor and brake to get it to work properly. The brake can stick or drag causing the scooter not to want to start up. Ride the scooter for a while and feel the rear of the motor near the brake (be careful it can be hot) to see if it feels hot if it is then the brake is dragging and needs to be replaced if its not overheating then I would replace the motor. Hope this helps

I am having problems with my front disc brake with my Yamaha Yazer 2009 the plates are heating up coz the shoes are in contact with the plates the wheels are also running tightly.I checked it with my...

1. Check your brake pads thickness, make sure they are in good condition, else replace
2. Make sure your brake disk are not warped. If they are then replace them.
3. Spray the pads and caliper piston with a good brake cleaner spray to ensure that no sticky gunk is hindering it from operating properly.
4. Remove your caliper bolts, clean them and give it some good moly grease.
5.After that it is time to tackle your brake lines, unbolt your brake banjo bolt, squeeze hand brake till all fluid comes out, clean it with clean cloth, bolt it back on. Now open your master cylinder reservoir, make sure it is not empty, fill it with brake fluid to normal level. Pump brake few times until it take effort to squeeze, hold it and open caliper bleeder valve wide open while continue squeezing, it should shoot a lot of oil with dirt, keep squeezing brake until it bottoms out, close bleeder valve, repeat pumping the brake handle until becomes hard to squeeze, hold it, open wide bleeder valve, it should be clean now, otherwise repeat process again until it comes out clean.
While doing that keep your maste cylinder oil level at full level, do not let it run empty.
Now ride the bike to 20-30kph, apply brake occassionally to adjust it.
Good luck and happy riding.

Sticky throtal (gas pedal)

The simplest thing to check would be check around your gas pedal. What you're looking for is carpet binding or impeding the pedal travel in some manner. I know, it's simple, but it's also the most common.

Secondly, follow the cable coming from the pedal and see it's binding in any way. It'll eventually pass through the firewall under the dash.

If still no luck, then pop the hood and check your cable coming through the firewall. Again you're looking for binding, or it rubbing against something.

If still no luck, check where the throttle cable attaches to the throttle body. It'll actually be what moves the throttle linkage. Have someone push the gas pedal and you see it. You'll probably have a cable coming from the transmission as well going to the same spot. That is, if it's an automatic...can't tell by description. A stick shift won't have a tranny cable.

If you cannot find any binding, then disconnect those cables one by one (easy to do..just carefully pry off the attached piece and then squeeze the large part where it passes through the holding bracket) and squirt a little lubricating oil like Liquid Wrench down each one. Try moving it back and forth and that should free it up.

Definately look at this soon. You do not want that pedal sticking! If it does, immediately shift to neutral and kill the engine. The brakes may not hold it if you leave it in gear. I had a Suburban do this once...and that was one scary ride!! I was only 16 too.

Hopefully this helps. If you do all this you should discover your culprit.
