TBR7 brake calipers seem off.
They don’t really spread out when not being used they kinda sit on the rotor if not a mm off. When you hit the rear brake it BARLEY moves. Is that normal? I want to get new calipers and pads but can’t find any other than the trash sold by Tao Tao.I’d love help finding them because Iv tried.

That is normal.

The foot pedal doesn't seem to move well from no brake to full brake, but be sure the adjustment bolt is properly set.
I have a theory about this bolt and common complaints about the rear brake: https://mymotorcycleblog.com/what-ca...e-not-release/ hth,

So using the "bolt" seen in the post above mine by CheapThrills, allows you to set proper rear brake pedal freeplay. This is essential in ensuring the caliper does fully release the pistons and that there is zero pressure acting on the pistons of said caliper. If you haven't set the free play yet, now is the time to do so.
That being said, brake pads don't really move away from the rotor very much when the lever is released. They are designed to basically float just barely off the surface of the rotor, usually making the tiniest bit of contact that you can hear as a very slight rubbing sound if you roll the bike around. This is normal.
