Rear brake issue (Apollo 125)

chiliphil1 · 04-07-2018, 01:13 PM

Hello everyone, I just acquired an Apollo 125 pit bike model DB99 for $100!! The bike is in good shape and after cleaning the petcock it runs great. Small issue with the carb, it won't idle with the choke off. It has a riveted float bowl so I can't clean it. I am trying to run some clean fuel and fuel system cleaner through it to see if it'll clear up, if not I'll replace the carb, but anyway..

The main issue I have with this bike is that the rear brake lever is WAY too far down, it's well below the foot peg and has to be pushed down about 6-8" to engage the brake. I don't see any adjustment on the arm, the mount, or the piston to actuate the master cylinder. Is there some way to move this lever up so that the rear brake can be used? I'm just not seeing a solution from looking at it.

Thanks for any help.
