    My son's started to fray at about 100 hours:
    Riding style/type probably effects longevity.

    100 hrs is alot for a cable. Even if you lube it before every ride. I'd say you got your $$ worth.

    Man a new cable should feel like butter!

    Replacing the brakes are easy. I'm sure you can figure it out. Taking it to the dealer every time will make you go poor real fast. Any questions on replacing pads just ask away1 There is a lot of helpful peeps on here

    its all good my dad decided to take the bike to get a full service by honda. If me mum and dad are happy taking it to the dealers every now and then i am fine with that. atleast that way they can make sure that any stuff i do to it its all good :) got them to put some new tires on aswells i hate changing tires! anyways it was a good time because this afternoon i came home to ride and its been rainin here for a couple of days now and makes riding with me mates alot more fun in the pooring rain and mud!
