Please see a doctor.
Mate it was more of a wear and tear issue... the calipers had rusted on the insides and bit of dirt ...
Had one of my good friends... he is almost 60 and one of those old skool racers....
First of all gave me an earful for not calling him for help... then he gets his tools out and we both with a bunch of LnP's , some sandpaper,brake fluid and WD fixed the brakes up... also tuned the gearing and chains while we were at it...
Total time = 35 minutes
Money = Fuck nothing.... no money between mates...
Learn= heaps... think outside the square and ol skool ol ways helps... problem with my age and generation we think everything across the counter is the best way ....
Bottom line .... got mobile once again ....the brakes are not the best at this stage but they do they job and its not just sitting there....
THanks for the good comments mate...

Pretty sure we weren't ripping on you man.
I have nothing against the Hyo. But it just isn't as good as a VFR. The only thing the GT250R is better at is being more Korean than the VFR, but then the VFR is more Japanese than the GT so I guess that kind of even things out.
And I was serious when I asked you how much you were planning to spend on wheels. Because for the amount of difference they'll make to a GT250 you could do a whole lot more for the money.
Also overreaction much.
If you read my posts you will see I have never said I dislike hyos. The only posts after the first two I have made have been in reply to Hyo owners who think looking at a Hyo wrong is akin to genocide suffering from "short dick can't read itus".
All I am saying is that it's only a 250 (especially a newer hyo/ninja). Any power gains you get will be minor and very costly.
If you want a faster bike get one, otherwise if you're happy with what you have go clap your hands.
I personally agree with this. I dont understand the modding out a 250 but hey, if you want to go ahead.
I have a hyo and am happy with it, I will be keeping it as a commuter when I upgrade due to how cheap it is on gas.
Just replaced my wheels front and back with Perilli sport demons and couldn't be happier ($350 all up + Fitting)
I can not see the sense in doing the muffler except to make noise. I would rather fix the shoddy front suspension.
And what is with all the stickers over the bikes???? it makes your bike look like more of a scrapbook than a bike...
Just my 2c and all

White Trash Pearls of Wisdom #2654 - Refering to yourself in the 3rd person: The only thing gayer, would be being caught handcuffed around a public toilet bowl, an apple stuffed in your mouth and George Michael administering an epic caneing to your exposed cheeks while Boy George documents the event on a handicam.
"I am a licenced motorcycle instructor, I agree with dangerousbastard, no point in repeating what he said."
"read what Steve says. He's right."
"What Steve said pretty much summed it up."
"I did axactly as you said and it worked...!!"
"Wow, Great advise there DB."

Luckily the Hyobag I grabbed already had the zorst attached, I just worked on getting the nice induction noise it makes now. (~$100 for the filter, $14 for the jets and a bit of time with my dremel)
Took pics of my airbox mod for a different forum (that actually cares *glares at Hiflyer*)

That's a K&N R-0990 filter; pops straight on, no mods necessary

Mate looking back at what I wrote... i think I wrote and reacted a bit too much... couldnt agree more... had a shitty day... sorry didnt mean it that way...
I love this bike... I cant affort another one for a long time...
The wheels are more from a safety and comfort point of view... the stock tires are crap... i keep skidding ol over the place (luckily not coming off) all over Welly
Cheers
