Random hose?
Ok, so i was getting ready to ride home from work, i took my seat off my 99 and there was just a random hose not attached on either end, i noticed my gas tank has three ends with not hoses on them but otherwise i dont know where it came from
 also, what would cause my front brakes to be very touchy? |

Ok, I will go first.
As far as the hose... Check your tank overflow, one end to the tank, the other down to bottom of bike. The brakes on pregens can get not just VERY touchy but EXTREMELY touchy, to the point of being unsafe for new/novice riders. Solution should be rather simple though; drain all fluid, clean EVERYTHING, fill with fresh fluid and bleed. Make sure you bleed them well too.

I think I found the root cause of the touchy front brakes on these bikes.
Mixing DOT ratings of fluids. Mixing fluids + heat = inconsistent fluid dynamics and maybe even a jellying of fluid if conditions are right. I am not 100% sure on this but it's an educated guess.

Ok, on the tank overflow answer, whic output is the tank overflow, and by bottom of the bike do you mean freely hanging?
My rotors are pretty destroyed, any where online to get rotors thats not $200? |
