your clamp will be bent down at the back,

Will take it out and have a look. Should it sit flat say on a sheet of glass? Not having a correct one to compare with it'll be difficult to understand if it's bent, right?

Picking up on this again since it's soon time to spray the scooter

Clamp is out but I cant see how the clamp could be bent, it's very robust and thick iron, has this ever happened to anyone else?

Or is it more likely the headset that is damaged...?

Thanks V

Get a new clamp £9.85 from SR..... - you can always sell it for £20 on Ebay if it's not that.

Yeah, would like to find out before spraying the headset though

If you order it now you'll have it tomorrow...

I had same problem and yes it was the clamp that was bent ....hard to believe because it is thick cast etc but only became apparent when comparing it with spare clamp I had .

It's really hard to believe as it's so thick, you'd imagine the aluminium would break first at an impact...
