Zoey 0 Posted September 5, 2020 I have a 300trx Honda 2000 and when I’m riding it it makes a popping and scraping sound. And in the back in this picture it gets really hot and smells like it’s burning and it scrapes metal of the disk thing in the back . Anybody know what’s wrong with it??

shadetree 6,036 Posted September 5, 2020 i see you made it here, sit tight, the sport guys will be around, it is the weekend, and holiday weekend at that. your model is a trx300ex, as i said on other site, i am not much for sport atvs ?, but from what i gather so far, it seems your rear disk brakes are in need of some repair :-). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,148 Posted September 5, 2020 Welcome Zoey , I ride utility atvs also , I have had a sport , my guesses would be brake pads worn out , caliper sticking making brakes drag g, bad carrier bearing letting the axle float around and scrape the disc ---- I would jack the back off the ground and spin them in the air , you might be able to isolate the noise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SlammedRanger 1,560 Posted September 5, 2020 From the looks of that picture that brake caliper is installed wrong. The slide plate is on the wrong side of the brake stay. This would make it impossible to install a brake pad in there so i would have to imagine its either worn down to thin metal or not in there at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 20,148 Posted September 5, 2020 I think I see what you are looking at , the rotor is not in the middle of the caliper --------- it also looks like the parking brakes is deleted with a block , Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 20,148 Posted September 5, 2020 You can see a block off plate good in this pic , it is powder coated black and covering the cable brake lever hole , after cable was replaced with hydraulics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
