This is a bit of a bodge but I had some handlebar lever supports that were flaky chrome. I heated them up with a blow lamp to expand the aluminium the chrome split and I could pick it off.
Be very careful not to melt the aluminium.

Re: Start prob
If it was starting normally and just started playing up I would clean out the pilot jet circuit, also worth checking the choke cable for wear or the nipple breaking off. If it is a new build I would check your ignition timing, my 185 rebuild was a pig to start and I, like you had to cover the carb m...

Re: Anti dive for spauq
Hello, I thought the whole point of an anti-dive kit was to allow the brake back plate to be independent of the fork links. From my experience an anti-dive doesn't use the lug or stud fixing on either type of fork links, instead it is braced to the fork leg by a link rod. This is just my thoughts, b...

Re: 12V reg
Yes this is a very easy mod to do, much cheaper than buying a new stator.
For those that don't know just desolder the earth from the lighting coil to the stator body and replace with the extra wire.

Re: 12V reg
To use a wassel unit you must have two wires coming out of your stator for ac power, theses are usually yellow, that plug into the wassel. If you only have one then you need a 4 pin regulator that makes 12 volt ac and 12 volt dc to trickle charge a battery.

Re: Pic of LH rear frame leg- S3?
Hi, it looks to me that some time in the scooters life the rear strut has been pushed in by 10 to 15mm. Have a look at the strut pressing by where the tank straps go, you may see some spreading of the metal compared to the other side. Get a piece of scaffolding pipe put it over the strut and pull it...
