yamaha aerox help

hi, im new to this forum and hope i could gain some knowledge from here.

basically

i have a yamaha aerox yq100, the bike runs fine but has a few of what I think are problems.

-firstly the exhaust gets really hot where i can smell the heathish smell if you know what i mean ,when i turn the bike off the exhaust makes a ticking noise.

-secondly, when the bike is off and i'm pushing it, it sometimes locks into gear so i cannot push it, is this normal?

-thirdly, when i press the rear brake it makes a very irritating squeaky noise is there anything i can do to stop that, ive adjusted the rear drum brake but it has not helped.

-last question is regarding the front brake, it's very stiff meaning i just push it a tiny bit and the bike stops, do i remove some oil?

any help would be really really appreciated.

thank you in advance

this is all sounds like seize brakes to me, give the calipers a clean and get all the muck out with brake cleaner.

regarding your ped stopping when walking with it suggest the brakes are buggered. Also has the drive belt been replaced lately?.

How long have you had it for? Did you buy it like this?

Get the haynes as well, its a very useful read.

thanks for the response guys

the bike definitely gets stuck in gear only when it's turned off and i'm rolling it, yes i know it's automatic* it's fine when i'm riding it however soon as i turn it off and try to push it into my driveway it just stops and when i try pushing it it sounds like the engine is trying to turn over. if i try the kick start it's like the wheel wants to spin. the only way to get it started at this point is to use the electric start giving throttle, this will then take it out of gear. this is a bugger and i really want this sorted.

any advice?
