GZZZZ GZZZ from Los Angeles

Welcome brother, we are glad you are here.

You should NEVER put WD-40 on the front disk brake pads or the rear drum brake shoes. If you put alot on them, it probably has ruined them. If not, a few stops should burn it off. All GZ brakes squeal until fully seated and usually when first applied. Hopefully the effort on the brakes will decrease as the WD-40 wears off. If not, replace the pads or shoes (whichever ones you sprayed)
:oops:

The shifting get a little easier after the first (600 mile oil change) service and will break in and get somewhat easier. The GZ is a price point bike and the transmission is a bit recalcitrant sometimes anyways. Usually when hot.

$3620 is a good deal.

Look over the site, there is a bunch of good stuff here. I recommend the 16 tooth front sprocket change (improves drivability), a good windshield, and a decent set of bags minimum.

Ride safe and practice, practice, practice.

Good Luck;

Sarris
