sorry but my english are not as good as i wished so please can you make it more simple? thanks.

Hello everybody , i thought to write down my experience with the steering lock on my recently purchased chappy . The keys were missing so i only got a new central ignition lock but the key doesn't fit to the old steering lock . So until my new steering lock arrived i just disassembled the old lock . There is a little screw under the body , turn it out and then a spring will pop out . That spring presses a little metal pin that holds the key-hole inside the body. As the spring is out , turn it over and bang it a bit with a hamer . The pin should come out . Now pull gently the key-hole out and release all 4 little pins with their springs too. Insert the key-hole back and reassemble the pin - spring - screw . Tighten the little screw as much as the key-hole turns smoothly and stays in the locked or unlocked position. Now you can use the steering lock with the new ignition key and nobody would notice a thing . Who would ever try to unlock it with a key of his own ??? NOBODY Thats the point of this temporary trick. You can use the old steering lock as long as you are waiting for the new one to come . Thats about all. Bye

Hello everybody , i am new here and i must say that i enjoy reading you all. I am also a new owner of a YAMAHA CHAPPY LB50 1976 and to my surprise its not just an ordinary chappy as i knew it back then . It has a manual 4speed transmition with clutch, 49cc and as i was googlin it i discover that its kinda rare mini bike that YAMAHA produced only for a couple of years 1976-1977 . Its a bike fun to ride it . I like its style and its reliebility as it has a bullet proof engine with some great gadgets for the time , such as the YAMAHA autolube system for the mix-oil . I got it for my son to learn how to ride a bike but i cant take my hands off of it ... I will post some pics too , as soon as i figure out how .

What a great little bike that is , i just got one and trying to bring it back to life as it was back to the 1976. Really nice work mate, keep it this way and the result will be astonishing ...

just a thought , might be the tires , check airpressure and if they are worn assymetricaly. then see the allignements. take the easy step first ... cheers .
