    Ok my technical knowledge of machinery is well next to basic........ok ok its crap but hey I don't deny it I need to know whether its cheaper to make gaskets from the paper they sell or are you better off spending more to get the prefab stuff. I dont have barrel loads of cash to throw at my bike and need the cheapest and easiest due to suffering from CFS ( chubby finger sindrome ). Any comments welcome

    Hello everyone, another question again from here in belgium... I found these nice slash cut end pieces for the stock exhaust on the dragstar 650. https://www.polo-motorrad.de/de/k-02-endstuck-slashcut-rechts.html. Now my question is, how does these attach, and does that mean the end damper of the stock exhaust has to be removed? I want besides the looks a bit bigger sound, but not too loud. first idea was to drill few holes through the end plate, as i read here has a good effect. But with these slash cut's, does it mean the end plate ot the stock exhaust has to go? Anybody experience with this? thanks a lot Peter

    Had a wierd thing happen a while back. It was a stinking hot day (approx 40 degrees C at 6pm). Was riding along at about 60kmh and the scoot just died. No spluttering. Just complete and immediate loss of all power. Suspected it was electrical but the thing started easily and off I went. Same thing happened again that night and as per previous time, started again no problems. Since then the headlight has stopped working. Doesn't work on either lo or hi and the dash illumiination doesn't come on either for the two dials. Indicators and brake light work fine and bikes starts and runs perfectly. I've checked: -Light switch continuity (ok) -hi/lo witch coni…

    Hi, I have just bought an aerox with either a 70cc big bore or a 77cc not exactly sure, it was fitted by a garage and is still being run in by me so it does have a higher ratio of 2 stroke oil. My mates 50cc aerox will do 45mph however mine struggles to reach 40mph at the moment. It has been de-restricted and has a leo vinci tt exhaust. Any suggestions as to why..... it could just eb the higher ratio of 2 stroke oil. Thanks

    My son rides an Aerox 50yq. We keep going through headlight bulbs and it has been suggested that we have a fault lighting resistor. I cannot seem to find this part anywhere to purchase? I am wondering if I buy a complete headlight kit will this come with a new resistor or will I have the same problem with the new headlight set?
