Whole lotta problems

[cashomoto]

Ok guys, thanks for all the help. I'll take the brakes and clutch cable apart on Sunday and see what happens. I don't know if I'll be able to look at the clutch on the same day though. It's a major job and I don't know if I can finish it all in one day. The bike is my main transport, so not having it for a while can be a real pain. Plus, I'm waiting on some oil filters from hyosung that I ordered 2 months ago , and if I look at the clutch, new oil goes in. I replaced the oil just 2000km ago, so it'd be a waste to change it 3 times in 3000km. I'll keep you posted.

Ok guys, sorry I took so long, but I tore apart the brakes and saw that the pads were completely gone. That is kinda wierd cuz again 3000km. I replaced them and meanwhile discovered that the break fluid hadn't been changes since the bike rolled out of the store. The pistons had a bit of rust on them, so i sanded them down with ultra fine paper and cleaned out the calipers as well. The breaks seem to be fine now, but, if the pads go out again, I'm not going to know what to do. I'm hoping that the pads gave out due to the pistons not retracting (a.k.a. the rust). Meanwhile I realized that my drive chain needed adjusting. I thigtened my chain up and cleaned it ect., which seem to help the cluch problem. Any new ideas?

Yea you might want to change the oil and grease the cable nipples.
I had my 03 GT250 clutch cable snap while I was going up a hill.

3000 km for a set of rear pads isn't surprising, it's all down to with how you ride and how often you check your brake pads. Just make it a routine and it should be fine.

I haven't had too much problem with mine, dropped it a few times apart from moving it around (naked sure take good hidings) and often had my rear tyre spin out on wet roads (shitty tyres ), apart from that she was cheap to run but some whart nasty.
