parking brake removal

[baycityryda]

i dont ever use it so how hard is it to remove or should i just mess with some thing else?

 

[yb200]

you can remove it but you will need the motion pro shorty cable for the rear brakes

If you have a 03+ just rip it off and dissconect the parking brake sensor, it won't stay idling otherwise. Now on 88-02 I don't know if they have this sensor or not.

You'll also need a block off plate like this or something similar:

I'm not sure if they do or don't have the sensor... if they do, it only took a second to remove...

Your Blaster will indeed have a parking brake switch that'll need to be removed. It may be located on the other side of the handlebars, but you'll see it right next to the parking brake lever. See the pic ^^ to get an idea.

As for actually taking off the parking brake, you only need the shorter brake cable. A block-off plate is used exclusively on hydraulic brake calipers, which your older Blasty does not have. Vito's sells these shorter brake cables in their 'parking brake eliminator kits'. You can buy one kit for standard-length/+ 2 swingarms, and they offer another one for swingarms that have been extended past 2". This kit comes with a slightly longer cable, but is installed the same way. B)

Yes just unplug it, Not 100 pecent sure that you have to have a block off kit on these hydro's, I have one on mine but I don't think you have to have one, just take p-brake cable off. leave the rest on there until you get a block off or leave it as is.

However Braaaptor has this:
