Re: Speedo probs

No.....but if you decide to have it refurbished then Jem Booths your man.

If you buy those cheepo replacements from VC then you're wasting your money

Re: Re-corking clutch plates

Re: What degrees timing....

Generally 19 BTDC on all my scoots- simply because I tend to err on the side of caution. Not totally convinced as to the "official" reasons ( crap modern petrol etc) for doing this. Bikes idle and run nicely, but I've always got a hankering to advance the timing a tad Chris P.S. All are 6v...

Re: Fork Buffer Position

whenever I've rebuilt front ends, I've always fitted thick ones to the top AND the bottom (although this can be a struggle at times). This does appear to give a firmer set up IMO

Re: My Series 2 150cc LI

Looks good- I'd be inclined to get it up and running; check/ replace all the safety related bits and then ride "as is". As Steve says, some resto's can look great but a tad "sterile". Riding "as is" is the way forward IMO but everyone to their own. Still worried why the...
