Rear brake lever won't depress
I just bought a 2007 Piaggio MP3 250. The rear brake lever will not depress to operate the rear brake. The front brake lever works fine and stops the scooter. Someone told me this was a setting as the brakes are linked. Is this true? Or can someone tell me how to re-engage the rear brake lever?

Hi
this issue is just general lack of maintenance
some of these had a drum brake and some had a disc brake
either way your braking system is dirty and needs a service
it is a case of trial and error
by removing the brake peddle you can slide the pivot in and out of the hole
there may be some corrosion on this
so with emery clothe you can clean it up
give it a slight coating of grease the put it back
do this with all moving parts going down to the rear brake
ie: take off clean and put some grease on it
at no point get any grease on either your brake disc or brake pads
same as drum and drum brake pads
hope this helps
