i've read lots on the 2-stroke additive, looks like something good to do, although I haven't done it yet.

I'm going to do my brakes shortly. I have the squeal from the front pads. and i know the rear shoes are nearing their end.

I also have a growl from somewhere in the driveline. I think my steady bearing rubber housing (along the 2 piece rear driveshaft) is going again. although this just started happening, so I don't think it's part of my problem.
