    Check pedal and cam for turning freely. Maybe pull them and clean/lube pivot points.

    Beyond that, just replace the shoes. They are $25 from Yamaha and like 10 bucks on eBay. Not worth it trying to revive them.

    You have an 82 Heritage Special, right? Part number 1HX-W253E-00-00.

    81 lists the same part number for brakes.
    The spoke and drum model is the Heritage.

    And yea, the chains are the same.
