Re: Series 2 hard to kick over

I have a gp200 case with a series 2 chain case cover. It was built by Af. 15 front sprocket 46 clutch rapido 200 road 26mm jettex carb.

Re: Series 2 hard to kick over

Did the longer kickstarter cure the problem?

Re: Lockdown project.

I saw the exhaust bracket you welded the other day, and thought to myself good skill.
Looked at these pictures of your scooter and am now thinking great skills.
Looks a very very nice scooter.
You have done a brilliant job with that.

Re: Anti dive for spauq

I think disc brakes / anti dive are a bit like marmite. Some people love them some dont. Its good that you have a workable solution. Hopefully you will have trouble free riding. As for mine bearing in mind what Minority had said, when i got in from work, straight into the shed and checked mine. The ...

Re: Anti dive for spauq

Is the above comment for me Minority. You may be correct. But to be honest I do not know either way. In the end i just followed the advice given to me by Rayspeed. Maybe i should of persevered with the anti dive. But i just figured they know more than i do, it was a problem for me they solved. I jus...

Re: Anti dive for spauq

Last year i fitted a scootsrs disc brake kit. I had no end of trouble with it. I could not get the anti dive bracket far enough up the forks to get the correct angle. I rode it but it kept locking. I went to scarborough and my kickstart snapped off. So i called at Rayspeed and got them to fit a new ...

Re: Tyre Choices

Bad news with regards the blowout and twisted frame.
But at least your still here and hopefully not too hurt.
Am sure you will sort the scooter.

Re: Padlocking Back Brake Pedal

I have noticed recently on Faceache a few posts about stolen scooters. If memory serves me they have been in the Yorkshire region. Multiple scooters taken in garage break ins. Sad for the scooter owners. I have also seen a CCTV video were a scooter was parked in someone's work carpark. A van pulled ...

Re: Adapting a 42mm Clubman exhaust.

I saw your post on Faceache and was also interested. I was hoping you would get an answer for this. The other problem i have, the tail pipe is angled upwards. This causes black oily deposits to end up all over the back of the side panel. I am sure im running too rich and a bit too much oil. But i pr...
