Suzuki LT 185 info required!!

[Spiggo]

Hi people, just bought a Suzuki LT185 that has a disc brake rear end and need a rebuild kit for the master cylinder but cant find any parts lists that show a disc brake for these bikes, they only list a drum brake, does anyone know what year they came out with a disc on the back? Any info appreciated!

Thought Id give you my thoughts for what it's worth, I'd say you probably have an aftermarket upgrade on your LT185 - it's from the mid 80's correct?  My '86 Kawasaki Bayou has 4 wheel DRUM brakes, as does my friend's 1993 Suzuki Quadrunner.  I'm suprised they'd use a disc brake on the rear end, atv's didn't get around to using disc brakes until the late 90's.  What do you have in the front, drum brakes?  Can't find anything in parts catalogs either, you're saying the rear is hydraulic as well?  All other rear brakes I've seen are cable operated.  Sorry I couldn't help more, just an idea....:o)  Cheers!~  Bellarmine

I agree with bellarmine. My 84 lt185 has a. rear drum brake.
