Andy- just check out the routing of the speedo cable- it looks like its been routed wrongly. The correct routing is in Stickys book somewhere.

5 min job to correct

Yep, that's the plan! The A1/A2 classifications are crazy tho. I could "learn" on a relatively powerful 125 but be unable to learn to ride a 150 scoot on CBT which is way less than 14bhp!

Why do CCs even come into it surely it's all about the power and weight?

Anyhow I have Stickys book and a chair in my garage (plenty of room now!) I'll check that speedo cable thanks Chris. You are the king of the scrutineers!

If you're expecting government rules to be based on logic and common sense then I fear that you're in for a lot of disappointments :D

nicely rerouted! that silver disc around the link bolt. Appears to be the same type as is fitted inside the mechanism to shim out the link vs the fork inner "boot".

Presumably these are fitted internally as well?
