Re: LTH Clutch

Yes you can use ST90 still.

Don't know about the springs but my wife can pull the supplied ones in fine so doubt you will need to change unless you have a very limp wrist.

Re: REMADE ORIGINAL DISCBRAKES : ITALIAN OR SCOOTRS TYPE ?

Here are photos of the Italian Evergreen disc brake one to compare. Maybe easier to tell from the disc itself. Thats a bit cheeky Randall, I cant remember opening my Album on photobucket for public use. As thats an obvious misuse of my personal intellectual property id advise you to get in touch wi...

Re: question for you dyno boys, CO v Fuel/air ratio.

As I understand it both give a clue to jetting but neither is entirely fallible. The main problem with most CO meters is a lag of several seconds in the reading so the run can be over by the time you see what the jetting was like at full bore, but having said that its just a matter of getting used t...
