Re: Good waterproof bag

I use a Vango kayaking backpack. Had it about 4 years with daily use and all still good.

The original rings will probably wear out within a 1000 miles but their replacements will last for many 1000's?

Re: Lost piston ring peg

Did it have the gap checked/new rings after the first 1-1.5k as recommended? I have an RT225 too. Where did you get this info from ? I did ask Slacker what maintenance it needed from new but its also on here about a few paragraphs down http://www.lambrettaspares.com/info/setting-up-*-engine-carbs-3...
