I have a similar new PA-06 with what is probably the same generator. It was loud and added a lot of drag, but a couple drops of 3-in1 oil to the underside of the roller (applied upside down) helped a lot. In fact, adding a drop of oil to every joint and moving part of the rod brakes made a huge difference in the quietness and smooth feel of the brakes.

And if your lights don't work in the rain, it could be a problem with how it's wired. It uses the frame for one of the conductors.
