2009 YDRE Brake not holding - Pedal Replacement?
I have a 2009 YDRE/G29 and my brake is not holding on a hill. If I press on top left of the brake it locks one click but that is not enough to hold it. If I press harder, it clicks again, but slips back to just one click. Looking closely at it, I thought that the jagged blade that catches was worn but it looks more like the bar that the blade locks against might be worn and that bar is riveted down. The adjusting nut for the brakes is very rusted and even after PB Blaster or WD40 , it will not turn to allow me to adjust the brakes tighter. I'm thinking of replacing the brake cable but I wondered if I should replace the pedal assembly as well since it's not locking. I'm also not sure what is involved in replacing the pedal assembly. I assume there is no accelerator cable but just the switch. Any advice on what to do to get better hold on the hills. The brake does hold me fine if I press it hard, It just does not lock down hard enough that I can remove my foot on steep hill.

Re: 2009 YDRE Brake not holding - Pedal Replacement?
I realize that the pedal is the main problem, but possibly also your brake shoes are worn to the point where one click doesn't hold anymore. Check those before you adjust the cables. But yes I agree you may need a pedal assembly or parts.

It's a crappy setup when it's time to replace them. It is a very nice working setup when in good shape. I would be working to get that cable adjuster freed up. Then adjust till the pedal has 1.75 inches of free travel. BTW, Yamaha had a big "closeout sale" on those pedals last year, so I bet they are no longer available.

I managed to make up a good connection to the sensor and all is working, but what a pain. Yamaha couldn't even supply me with part numbers for the plug used in the new style wiring harness. PITA story and I hope you do not end up with same issue. Cgtech may comment on this if he has experienced it before. |

Re: 2009 YDRE Brake not holding - Pedal Replacement?
I just looked one on up on eBay for $195 and it is the cast frame. If that is the one coming to you, you should be good to go. Wish I had chosen that way, but my dealer gives parts to me at his cost. So I went that way without checking elsewhere and got the new assembly and a surprise.

Re: 2009 YDRE Brake not holding - Pedal Replacement?
You don't need the whole pedal assembly. Who ever was adjusting the brakes did it wrong and it wore that riveted piece out. Drill the rivets and put a new piece in, its easy really. Yes you have to make the piece. Sure beats a new pedal for just that piece. Id buy a new brake cable as the one you have is more than likely all stretched out due to bad mechanics. Rule of thumb, don't adjust the cable.
