Ordered some new pads from my local parts store. I took the bike out for just a couple minutes to see if I could find any other issues with it. It gets extremely hot to the point of almost burning after just a few minutes. I checked my coolant and everything seemed fine and there is no visible dirt in the filter on the bottom cowling (sorry, I'm not sure what the name of it is). I did notice, however, that when I was at a stop there was some sort of liquid dripping off the center stand on the right hand side of the bike. I checked my hoses to make sure they were all connected but I found this one that had a metal clip on it. From searching around online, it appears to the airbox drain hose (I'm a master detective, I know). However,
http://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/Oil_Cha...n_hose_service says that there's supposed to be a drain plug at the bottom of the hose. There's definitely not anything there, though. Could this be an issue?
