    Front brake's TRX300.

    Did you adjust them in the right direction ?

    Jack front of bike up, Leave wheel etc all on, Just remove the red plug, Rotate wheel and look through inspection hole to find adjusters (2 on each side) Use a flat blade screw driver to turn (there's a arrow on the adjuster holder for direction of adjustment) the brake adjuster until it stop's (don't crank them up to hard) Now the wheel should be locked up. Back off the adjuster half a turn or so (wheel should just be staring to move freely). Repeat that on all adjusters, Refit red plug's, Then it should be all good to go.

    If adjusters don't turn they will be siezed needing strip down, clean up and lube.

    You shouldn't have to remove any brake line's/hoses for this meaning no need to bleed afterwards.
