    1.the clock on the bike dont work... the one that tells the time... ive been told it because they take batterys... like watch batterys... and they have ran out?? is that true and are they easy to change?
    2.my rear brake is not sensative at all...rear drum.. how do i make it more responsive...

    Sounds completely right. The clock on mine had died so i swapped the whole thing for a newer one.

    It's quite a bit of unscrewing but an easy job to do. This is a picture of the back of the clock and the battery.

    It says LR43, Toshiba. They are the same as in watches and you can probably pick one up for about £1.


    Your rear brake might need adjusting or the shoes might be low but i don't really see them being low on a bike that's done such low miles.
