I'll try to answer you're questions: 1. Clean the drum brake. Brake dust tends to stay in the drum and it can bind up the pivot point, this exact thing happened to Javier.
2. Guessing an exhaust leak. The only way to know what it is requires listening to it with a stethoscope to pinpoint where the noise is coming from. 3.I wouldn't pay that much for a wreck, especially since the frame is bent so it is only good for parts.

Since my first post I have changed the oil, drained breather tube a few times, put on new front brake pads, bled and re-filled disc brake fluid, constantly cleaning and lubing the chain, etc. I have a clymer manual and am trying to learn how to do all the maint. that I can without any of the specialty tools I dont have. Here are some questions for now: 1) my rear brake pedal sometimes (in streaks) will stick but only slightly. I have to clip it with a whack with my right foot to undo it. I have since adjusted the play in the pedal to have way less and it seems to be doing better. Should I be worried about the status of the drum. Arrows indicate I am good to go for a while I think. 2) I am wondering if I should be concerned with a noise coming from what I think is my 4th piston/chamber area. It kinda comes in and out and sounds like a light fluttering or rap-pap-pap-pap that is very subtle. I am not sure if I am convincing myself that it has got worse but I feel like it kinda has. Should I even care? 3) wondering how worth it it would be to have a parts-bike. I am in SF and this popped-up: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/mcy/2370170803.html Any thoughts on this bike? The major issues are labor needed to fix it all...mainly the forks. Anyone have an extra set? Thats all for now and I promise to send pictures too!
