Yeah, I bet not putting that nut tight enough would ruin my day
I dont own a torque wrench, But I will be sure to make it tight.

I have a dumb question....I am going to remove the rear wheel from my scooter and I want to see if I am right. After I take off the muffler and remove the so called "nut from *" is it pretty straight forward? Would it be like pulling a rear wheel from a car with the wheel attached to the d...

Cable moves freely...its the lever at the wheel that seems to be frozen.
I have sprayed it with penetrating oil and tried beating it lightly with a 2x4 as a cushion. It wont move.

a new cable is in the future, but the real problem is that the linkage seems to be stuck.

The 87 elite 150 that I just bought has a rear brake that is locked up solid. Any idea's? I think it has something to do with that funky parking brake. Also...I have not pulled the carb yet and tried to get it started and all I get is a lot of grinding and a little puff now and then....carb cleaning...

What are they? Can you ship to PA? How much?
thanks

I have the manual here for the 83-84 aero...although it seems most of it applies to 83's....not sure about the fuel thing though....if I give it a quick spray of starting fluid, it fires right up till it uses all of it up and then sputters out.....I HAVE read all of the warnings about using starter ...

When I look at the carb area, I see something sitting above the carb with 3 hoses going to it. Is that the bystarter? If it is, how do I test it or is there a way to clean and or lube it?

I have been reading alot about the bystarter and I think I would like to try and test mine....the only problem is, being new to all of this , I...

Is there a way to drain out the oil in there now?
As I said before...I am very new to this all and would appreciate any ideas and help.
This thing is a blast to ride and I want to try to keep it as nice as possible with minimal problems.

Thanks for the info.....where do I get the oil you mentioned? Also, the gas was not in there for more than a a couple months, do you think I might get some improvement from ptting something like gumot in the tank. I am not much of a mechanic when it comes to bikes...this is my first one. And BTW.......

Hello all, I am new here and very new to scooters...I just bought my first one last week. Its a 1984 Honda NH80. Any tips or tricks from you guys would be appreciated. The scooter runs pretty good....especially when warm, but it seems to want to sputter a bit when it is below 65 degrees...plus the g...
