Honda cub90 problems?



hi please help me i have a honda cub90 and its about 10 years old there is a few problems with it, the (1st) problem is that the back break jams on any time i have to use it so i try not to use it but when i apply the brake it sticks and the bike will go nowhere it just revs. (2nd) problem is that the fuel gauge seems to be broke as the needle is on half a tank all the time. (3rd) problem is that the indicators and the neutral light never work but they use too, the headlight and the tail light both work so i dont know if its the battery or that? please help me thank you.

Regarding your rear brake, the wheel needs removing and the whole brake assembly needs cleaning and greasing. As the brake is jamming solid, I suspect either the pivot is worn or your pads are very low and need replacing.

It is also possible the brake pedal is seized on its pivot. When you disconnect the brake rod, check whether the brake pedal will move freely before removing the wheel. It is in an area very susceptible to rusting.

Your fuel gauge is "remembering" the fuel level from when it first became faulty. Along with your other electrical problems I suspect a loose connector. probably underneath the fairing or within the handlebar covers.

Remove the fairing (very easy to do) and check all connectors for "tightness". If this does not solve then remove the handlebar covers and have a good look around in there also.

Also check under the covers around the steering column. It is a long time since I owned one so I do not know exactly where the block connectors are.
You can have a go at fixing yourself but really better to get into garage. If you can't afford this or don't want to do this I suggest you get hold of a Haynes workshop manual these are very common and could get a 2nd hand 1 very cheap. The brake is fairly easy to do like the other chap said just take it apart grease it and replace worn parts. I think the lights is a relay problem hard to check if you do not have a test machine unless it is blackened showing it has burned out. As for the fuel gauge don't worry it would not be worth replacing just keep a mental note of when you last fill up and check by looking into tank at about 60 miles to be sure not to run out. lots of bikes don't have fuel gauges so not really important.
good luck.
After charging the battery you should check your bulbs or wiring for fault the rear brake needs disassembly and probably new shoes fitted the brake sticks hard when the shoes become so worn that the (cam) actuator is actually wedging between the opposing shoes. The bulbs may have blown if the bikes been run without the battery being connected.Not expensive to replace any of these parts 拢20-拢25 total if you do the work yourself which your obviously keen on....
