I know of 1 standard scoot an LML 2t 125 that my mate has and it's only standard (engine wise) because he only bought it a few weeks ago and he's (hopefully) recovering from cancer but is still very frail at the moment and undecided on what he's going to do with it.
Ride safe.

I've heard that there is such a tool to put in place of the spark plug and kick it over. Supposedly measures the air pushing out and tells you the cc. Could be utter sh*te mind, but does make me wonder.... Mind you, I found out that I ran my scoot for 11 months with no tax and (if I got caught, voided) insurance. Only found out when I tried to book it in for an MOT, and was told I was 11 months late. I use the dam thing daily.... 😂

Hi ironsloth, is your insurance void if you have no MOT?
Do you think the boys in blue carry a set of spare carb jets to get the mixture correct for the ride home? is it a public service exercise to stop us burning a hole in a piston!

Hi Ian, the Mrs works in insurance, let's just say she wasn't impressed.... 😁

Better with a row from your Mrs than points on your licence!

I've managed to sweet talk coppers.... Never the Mrs!! Got caught with no L plates one time, it was New Year's Eve.... They followed me into the car park and stopped me. I was about to get points and a fine (as well as my scoot getting impounded), when they said, " do you know where you're going?" I explained that it's been a long time since I went to Boston, and where I wanted to go, I had to take a route that I knew which wasn't exactly direct. "I'm meeting my Grandad", I said. "Where is he, we can help with directions", I replied with "I don't need to ring him as to why I'm late, I don't think he will mind...." Two blank looks from the ol bill, "he's at the crematorium, he's been there for over 15 years, a few minutes won't matter. Where's the nearest flower shop?" Their colour drained quicker than a pint on New Year's Eve, told me to get an L plate, and directed me to the flower shop. No points, no fine, no impound of the scoot, went off grinning like a Cheshire Cat.... 😁 result!
