Trenga rear brakes???

[Stagesrt4]

Do any of you guys have the upgraded trenga rear brakes? Or know anything about them. I have them on my rear, but they dont seem to work. I thinking that it either needs a larger rotor or the seal is bad in it. I took it apart and it seems to be fine and in working orde. It doesnt seem to build up a whole lot of pressure though.


Here what it looks like. Ill probably just end up taking it apart again, but any help would be awesome.

I have them and love them. Try Bleeding them.

it feels like the seal is broken. ill pull her apart. for the mean time the front brake and down shifting will do.

I have the trenga setup also. The problem with mine is the bleeders have gone bad and are so rusted I can't get them apart to rebuild them. Do you know of anywhere I can get some replacement bleeders?

i have to take mine apart. They wont send any pressure, so im assuming the seal is busted.

they look like decent brakes. i might just buy a stock rear brake setup for the meantime

My trenga's sucked at first because the plastic cap on the reservoir leaks like a siv. I replaced it with a brass pipe plug from home depot and now they work great.

If you dont have them properly bled, they wont have any pressure at all. You have to bleed them. Proper way....you may need an assistant....

1. make sure fluid is full
2. push the brake pedal down a couple of times, then hold it
3. loosen the bleeder to let out some air while still holding pedal down (put a short section of hose on the bleeder, and direct any fluid coming out into a container
4. tighten bleeder back up, and then release the pedal, and start over with step 2, checking fluid everyonce and awhile.

If your fluid gets empty, youve just put more air back in your lines. Keep it full. You may have to do this half a dozen to a dozen times, until no more air comes out, just fluid. Then you will have pedal pressure and the brakes will work.

Bleeder screws may be available at your atv/motorcycle or auto parts store, take the old one in, and match up the threads with a new one.
