I think it must be Henri, I’ve never really noticed it before tbh.

Flywheel cover off and it’s still making sort of a rattle noise? All I can think of is the clutch nut has come loose or bearing? I can’t firgure out how if he hasn’t moved in weeks and it’s only started after the cable was changed?

I have took a video of it, you can just hear pick it up on it but I can’t post it on here as 5e files too big.. I’ll check that out though, I don’t think it’s not that though, it sounds like the bearing maybe on its way out? But it was fine before and it hasn’t moved or been started the last couple of weeks...

Mij, clutch is working fine and the gears are working as they should. Went for a test run and all is fine, only problem is once the clutch lever is pulled in all the way it’s making a noise? Only just started to happen, all I’ve done is change the cable.

Ticks over fine until it's ridden a couple of feet and clutch is pulled in..

I have adjusted the clutch, no stalling or drag. Rides fine until the clutch is pulled in and come to a stop either in neutral or in first. I have only rode a few feet, I'm confused on what's happening? The engine will slowly die unless it's revved?

Currently working with gear cables, shift into first everything seems fine, slowly letting clutch out, all is good, roll forward a couple of feet and then stop/brake and the engine starts to slow down and eventually cut out unless throttle is opened. I’m thinking clutch cable isn’t tight enough and clutch isn’t disengaging properly?

Are the Piaggio and LML coils the same? Is anybody running one? Waiting two weeks for one to arrive from Italy browsed SIP and found the LML coil, do they work the same? It says it will work with the model. No changes needed?

Ordered one, hopefully be here Saturday.. Looks like the original CDI unit but i think it was a cheap replacement, looked as if it was sealed as it wasn’t having any of it.

Won’t unscrew, tried by hand and molegrips.. Doesn’t want to know, will have to order a new CDI. Anyone know what size the nut under the headlight? 6/7mm don’t fit.. 8mm doesn’t fit!

It hasn’t moved for years, does start after awhile and runs fine. The cap pulled straight off. Tried unscrewing it and won’t budge, not much left to grab and unscrew now as I tried pulling it out, hopefully I can get some around it to unscrew. Looks like the original CDI, hopefully just corroded on.

Tried removing HT Lead off a Super, are the HT leads different to P range? It won’t unscrew or budge and there’s no longer anything to twist it, any ideas?

Indicator bulb is blowing, I suspect the regulator maybe going bad. How do you check the regulator and what should the outputs be? What else would cause bulbs to blow constantly?

Jet wash seems to be taking some of the paint off..

Can it be done? Scooter has been hand painted for some reason and the original colour is underneath. I spoke to someone who paints small models etc for a hobby and he said it can’t be done. Any chances?

Indicator switch is in, need to try it out see if it works. Turns out the part where the mirror threads on to was catching the gear shifter. How hard should the mirrors be to remove? I had to use a lot of force to take them out, seems somebody didn’t put them in correctly and the top of thread is stripped. Is it Norma, for groove to be cut out in the tubes for the mirror to sit? Looked like someone had a dremel or file to it.

Is it normal for gear shifter not to move with the headset top off? Gear shifter won't budge, tried rolling it back and forth with no luck.

It looks like the gear shifter needs to be removed to allow it to pass through. There's a small lip which the connecter can't fit through

Headset off, the indicator connected end doesn’t fit through the gearshift, I’ve had three switches that don’t fit through. What’s up with that?

Replacing indicator switch, end of the switch where it connects is stuck in the neck of it all. Only way to get it out is removing the headset entirely. I can remove the gear cables and clutch but wouldn't want to touch the disc brake if possible.

Is there a way to remove the headset and column without disconnecting the cables? I'd rather not touch the front disc brake if possible.
PX125E model.

Hi guys,
I have a new switch which is needs connecting up, LML type instead of a Piaggio one.. It has a box on th end where the wires connect in to, is it as easy as plugging it in or do the wires come out and plug in individually?

Smalł chip on the board had come off the actual board itself so had order another indicator switch. Whoever was last in it didn't leave much wire at all. Hopefully all will go smoothly. It's a PX125E model

Going to replace the whole indicator switch unit, is it hard to replace it? First timer

Indicators... Solved the problem of the front left side indicator not working.. or so I thought. The pink wire in the switch had come loose so I held it on the circuit and it flashed, and so I've soldered it back on and nothing. The left indicator is flashing the rear brake light now? I've only had the switch cover, battery and flasher off. Any ideas?!

Yes Mij, everything seems in order. Dabbed some tiped on the backplate and it that seems to be the problem, tried sanding it down slightly but still grinds. I think I'll just buy a new one

Post by jellerby on Sept 24, 2017 13:35:40 GMT
Went for a test run on the new rebuilt engine, everything sounds fine then came to a stop to hear the back brake has a grinding/binding sound when it's pushed. Adjusted the cable and the pedal hits the floor and it's still doing.
Going to take hub off and clean the hub inside and the brake shoes themself. Any other ideas?

Cheers Mij, hope that's the problem. I tightened both the nuts down equally alternating between the two but didn't have any luck. Will check to see if the carb body may be warped and use the sandpaper. It makes sense, I previously did it with the head as it wasn't perfectly flat. Ive never torqued the carb bolts down on this scooter and never had any problem with any air leak, maybe that's where I was going wrong and didn't tighten both equal. Cheers Mij, will report back tomorrow
