FAQs

Can I use these on any motorcycle?

No, these are specifically designed for drum brake systems. Always check your bike's compatibility with the K710G part number.

Do I need to replace the springs?

Yes, it is highly recommended to use the new OE-style springs included in the kit to ensure consistent tension and proper shoe retraction.

How long do these take to break in?

Generally, 50-100 miles of moderate, city-style braking is sufficient to bed-in the shoes properly.

Why are there grooves in the brake shoes?

The grooves channel water, dirt, and dust away from the braking surface, ensuring a cleaner contact area and better stopping performance.

Do I need special tools to install them?

Standard hand tools, including pliers for the springs and a clean cloth, are typically sufficient for installation.

Troubleshooting

Brakes are squealing upon application

Ensure the chamfered ends are facing the correct direction and check that the drum surface is not glazed or excessively worn.

Brake feel is spongy

Check the brake cable or rod tension; ensure the springs are correctly seated to allow for full retraction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improved braking performance in wet or dusty conditions
  • Extends the lifespan of both brake shoes and drums
  • Minimized noise and vibration due to chamfered ends
  • Easy installation with included OE-style components

Cons

  • Requires drum brake system compatibility
  • Must be bedded in properly to reach maximum efficiency
  • Not compatible with disc brake motorcycle systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, always verify the K710G model matches your motorcycle's specific year, make, and model as indicated by the manufacturer's catalog.

  1. Ensure the brake drum interior is thoroughly cleaned with an appropriate brake cleaner and is free of old grease or scoring.
  2. Use the included OE-style springs to seat the shoes firmly against the anchor pins.
  3. After installation, perform a series of moderate stops to 'bed-in' the linings; avoid aggressive, high-speed stops immediately after fitting.
  4. Periodically inspect the drum surface for deep grooves or heat checking. Replace the drum if it exceeds the manufacturer’s wear limit, as damaged drums will quickly destroy new brake shoes.
