I'm thinking of getting a scooter first registered in 2006 but actually built in 1971. Trouble is when i go on insurance websites they ask for the year of registration and not manufacture, this means it filters all the scooters for say 2006 and i can't select a 1971 model. I already use my no claims on my main bike, so wondering if its probably best to go for a classic insurance where you dont get no claims but you dont earn it either.
any recommendations of which company to go for?

Think i'll do the shims anyway, haven't got a haynes manaul but pretty handy mechncially just a few pointers needed - what's the process? What to measure? is it a case that the old shims just wear away? and how to determine what size shims to buy in advance of split?

Cheers I tightened cables and neutral is perfectly aligned as you go to 2nd its a little past the notch 3rd slightly further and 4th even further out of alignment. I just like things perfect so wondered if its normal. If not normal then i'll plan a gear shim job
Are gear shim an engine apart job??

Just acquired a px125 2008, been doing some tinkering here and there. I found the gear change was terrible very slack and difficult to find the gear. Changed the oil and tightened the cables and its transformed the ride. But i note the gears do not match up precisely with the indicator on the handlebar (4th gear is about 1/4" further around than the notch. Is this normal? If not I have a theory that the handlebar gear wheel may have worn and could be a smaller diameter than it should be - if so replacing it may make things line up again ? Any thoughts? (here's the piece) - www.allstyles-scooters.com/acatalog/Throttle_pulleys.htmlOne other thing i find it possible to go past 4th gear and find a neutral - again is this normal or should there be movement limiters on the batwing or the handlbar to stop this?
