Hope you get it back in good condition dude. Heli - do you have a link to the maplin set up? Is it a kit or do you buy everything seperate? Its surprising what goes on what you dont see. Parents neighbours have a cam, random strangers wander in their gardens, check for open doors, on cars too - day ...

Maybe a silly question, bit did you compare the new bearings to the old ones, in size like?

Or..... I can see the pub from here!!

Clever how they have them floating place signs, cant see the wires or anythin

Vespas are air cooled with a big fan on the fly wheel so they can idle all day long.

Crms, like already mentioned, require air flow through radiator fins via bike movement, or Mikes fan. (Not a fan as in supporter - i dont think he has any )

We all know LT's prices are on the high side.

But its the service, availability and quality of parts you're paying for. Always worth the extra premium to me.

Great pics dude.

Photos dont usually capture how steep a hill is, but Jayzus - it caught that one

My nads arent big enough to attempt such a gradient!!

Not necessarily a bigger hammer, its all in the wrist action Oohhhh maayytron!!

Its more about keeping the frame wedged so it doesnt absorb the thwack of the hammer force. Good to leave it soaking overnight in some plusgas or the like.

You might need to make a big pot of that tea...

the dreaded swingarm pivot bolt!!

Im not bein ignorant or owt, but theres loads about freeing it already on the site - have a search dude

Good luck

Got Pirelli Scorpion A/Ts on mine. Great tyres, stick to the road like glue.

Theyre 75/25 road/offroad should you get adventerous. Dont know how they perform off road though.

Hi FB,

Whereabouts are you?

If you want a top notch AR then ask helisup on here.

If you want a very good mk3 then i may be tempted to sell

China is king at replicatin stuff.

The units may even prove more long lasting than the Japanese ones - or they may be rubbish

But lets hope for the former

Is there a parts list anywhere to check the part number out?

Oh bugger, think ive made a schoolboy error. Checked air screw an its nearly 2 turns out

Not sure how sensitive that little screw is, but hopin its done the trick. Not had chance to check yet

Ok knacked, it is only very slight though - it doesnt run on for long, a split second.

Air filter is like new, clean and well oiled.

Gonna needle it and report back...

Yeah heli, i get your point about the air screw. I'll check it out. The reason i mentioned raising the needle was to confirm too much air, i kinda reasoned if this ironed out the revs it would point to an air leak. If it makes it worse it points to too much fuel. Yeah mike, was gonna do that too. Ju...
