hi all,
just got a wheelie done, and recently noticed the rear brakes (drums) are squeaking not when i press the brake pedal, but release it.

its annoying....

any ideas?

There are 3 pivot points on Behind each shoe. Spray a little bit of spray grease behind them and should be ok. Also adjust handbrake and check the hand brake cable and lubricate it where it sits in the bracket on the rear trailing arm. Get this problem all the time at my work.
Good luck with it :)
