Hey Motogrady, thanks so much for all the help - still did not manage to get the broken bleeder out but front brake is biting really good and it does not seem it needs any bleeding in the mean time so will have to tackle that at a later time - the rear brake is a different story, right now it's totally dead, I can't bleed it till I have purchased the necessary tools.
I did manage to get it to spit less smoke now - had to run the thing, rev it up a number of times, and just go run it a number of miles at varying speeds - the shocks seem to be working a lot better now as well (after running it a number of miles) so I'm really very happy about how things are coming
One thing I've noticed though, it seems very difficult (almost close to impossible) to shift from first gear to neutral (even with clutch pressed if the engine is running - if the engine is not running it seems fine - I don't know if this is because I'm using rubber shoes) - is this how it really is supposed to be? There does not seem to be any problems shifting to neutral from other gears (since it's just pressing half down with other gears compared to half up from first gear), only from first gear.
I haven't placed any oil on the chain as well so might have to do that before doing another run - my fuel lines got cracked (probably due to age / heat / sudden rain while I was riding) the thing was pissing fuel on the fuel lines so I had to go back home and fix it.
