Been lead to believe that its the pressure plate that cause's the stiffness.......don't how true this is but will be stripping and having a look in the next week or so.....will update.
As for brake.......not sure about fluid but will drain, flush and replace and see what that brings.
Thanks!
Cheers! I put the wrong sizes down aswell....they are 45/28 respectively.
Had a look on the manual/parts guide and they use the same centre box and same silencer from 04 onwards.....some (not all) had a different silencer on 02/03 bikes but again had the same centre box so would presume that as long as it's the same style silencer it will be fine!
Is the rear silencer and center expansion chamber from a 125 compatible with a 280/250? The front pipe is 45mm diameter and the outlet from the center to rear is 30mm.
Also is the expansion chamber a silencer as well i.e. does it contain packing?
