hey all im new to the 240 scene, i got a few questions that are probably easy for you guys to answer that will help me out a ton!

well heres the story, im about to buy this 240 from a local guy and he has some problems with it

-he says the brakes arent working 100%, he said that even with the pedal down all the way, it stops very slowwww. hes not a mechanic but he "THINKS" (quoting exactly what he says) i think theres no air in the brake lines because when the clutch isnt engaged, pressure builds up, and when the clutch is engaged, no pressure builds up at all. so my question is, whats the problem? and around how much will it cost to solve this problem?

-rear brake light doesnt work because of something he said, like... when u brake, the sensor or whatever behind it doesnt go off, so you'll need to replace that for the backlights to work. my question is, how much would it cost to replace this?

sorry guys i know im a huge noob but im new to the scene, much thanks! anymore info needed on those problems, i cant tell ya cuz idunno nor does the owner. if we can talk on aim about this it would be even better and faster, my aim is ethannsayz i am online right now! thanks all!
