Perhaps someone has already done this and if they have please tell us where i can find em but...

I was wondering if anyone has come across any short footage like on youtube or elsewhere which shows you how to do a certain job on a scoot, eg put hydraulic brake kits on or fit a new clutch, or adjusting forks, cables etc..? I have searched but only found the old 60's innocenti films which are on youtube along with their opening a new service station ones : :| roll: .

With the advances in modern technology eg phones with video, I wondered if there are any willing experts out there who would be happy to video themselves doing relevant scooter repairs so us DIY'ers can have more visual instruction on how to do these jobs. You dont have to show your face unless you want to :frog:

Does anyone else think this might be a good idea?
I know I prefer to watch how someone does something than try and understand written instructions.

Perhaps if we got enough they could be hosted somewhere on the net. I would do some myself but I think it would be the how not to do something way..

Whilst these DVD's are excellent they don't show how to fit a hydraulic brake or strip and replace forks, so yes, IMO, it would be nice to have a DVD of Sticky's book.
