Re: Rear brakes catching
I should add, the rear brakes have been working fine for 2 years, since the engine was put in the sportique and has only covered 500 miles and passed 2 mot's.

Re: Loose headset
have you definitely got the correct headset on. how easy is it to fit the headset onto the forks, you should have to turn it from side to side to get it on properly and are you using washers & spring washers. you should tighten the nut not the bolt, once tight then give the bolt head a turn wit...

clutch adjustment?
On getting my mates px engine VBB ready for MOT, it had a clutch problem, if I adjust it too much, it jumps and stalls, if I back it off, it's like riding with no clutch! I've taken a look at the clutch and all seems in order. Anyone got any pointers where to look next?
