As per usual the weather is s**t and the scooter starts to play up, running perfectly and now changing from 2nd to neutral is becoming difficult. Tightened the clutch cable and topped up the engine oil with another 50ml (not sure why i done that) but I did. No change. Is this an early sign that the cruciform is on its way out, or is this a sign the engine oil needs changing. I have not touched the gear cables. After writing this post, gear cables need tightened don't they.
What changes do you make to the scooter over the winter months, I have found that when the weather gets like this the scooter does not seem to run as good as in the summer. Fuel consumption seems higher, performance lower and my brakes are s**t. Or is it just me.

Scooter seems the same to me all year round ! The only difference at this time of year is sliding around on the snow and ice ;)
