Ceramic bead blasting - engine cases

Wondering if anyone has had the engine cases ceramic bead blasted to give that satin polish shine effect? Place I normally use has replaced the machine so no more ceramic, sadly.

Af rayspeed cassette clutch set up

I had the same issue with an BGM clutch. Used a shortened clutch arm, MB sell them now. And filed an old lever so that out opened further. Together they gave me more travel and got rid of the drag.

I bought 25L of Groundsman for £70 including postage. That’s £2.80 per litre

Re: Heavy LTH clutch.

They both work perfectly but I’ve found the LTH to be a bit on the heavy side. As for the Readdpeed what a great clutch for the money. I've had nothing but trouble with the BGM dragging. Ended up fitting a shorter clutch arm and a different lever that I have filled down so that it opens further and...

Heavy LTH clutch.

I had to take the clutch apart anyway to inspect my gearbox and change my hub bearing. I’ve fitted some softer springs and changed the inner and outer clutch cable. It’s a lot better now but not mega light like my BGM clutch fitted to another scoot. I’ll just have to live with it. I've a BGM clutch...

Re: Trust.

I paid a well known dealer to refurb my engine. When I got it back he hadn't changed a part I had asked him too. When I swapped out the part myself I noticed that some of the work wasn't what I expected so I decided to drain it down and drop the case off for a look. What I found was unbelievable! Ol...

Re: Li125 special gearing

You will need an 82 link chain with 18/47. You could use 16/46 and see if the 175 pulls it ok
