    Hi i have always had terrible rear brakes on my dt 125x. I changed braked pads and have bled the brakes several times after that, but still they are almost useless. brake disc seems okay. any tips?

    Using decent quality pads makes a difference. I spent £40 om front pads on my dt and I swear by them.

    Cheap pads won't do any good.

    Also pads take time to bed in.
    I'd also look at getting maybe a wavy disc. Not sure if that has any benefits.
