    Also check the linkage adjustment, for the push rod that goes into the rear master. The push rod could be too tight (pressing up on the piston), there should be just a little play, between the rod & the piston. There is an adjusting bolt with a lock nut, facing to the rear at an angle.

    The piece behind the seal, has a locator pin, not the seal itself (seen it 2 weeks ago). The seal can be changed, in frame if needed.

    I think what you missed is 40,000,000 People (50yrs+) X $1,000,000.00 = $4,000,000,000,000.00............ But the math was out of wack, from stateside too....... :mo money:

    Guess some of them, are always up for some target practice. But wouldn't a moving target be better, so take the cage & not your scoot. :rotf:
  6. Rocket
    Correct, but there was an aftermarket chrome one made, for the Mk1.....

    Same here, but it helps Don out............

    I think he posted in the wrong forum....... Hey Wrongway, have you been giving him directions?????????
  9. Rocket
    Nope, he has a 1st gen Mk2 (1300 CC), 1986 in fact. I had installed the Ebay filter adapter this winter, on my 83. The thaw is starting to happen, so time to finish putting the scoot back together.

    Looks like there will be more Pie & Cheesecake, for everyone at Don's maint day. The reason I think this, probably after posting the comment above, Big Tom will not be getting any........

    Are you suggesting putting power to a ground lead????? The spade connector plugs into the thermostatic switch, which closes the connection (grounds the circuit, allowing the fan to turn on), when at the set tempature. the bullet connector (behind the spade connector), is for the temp guage sending unit. Some have wired in a toggle switch along with the sensor. Just run another wire to the sensor & tap in, connect the other end to a toggle switch. The other side of the toggle switch connects to a ground point. This set up comes in handy, when sitting in traffic jams. But when moving, the fan rarely kicks in.

    Hopefully this will give you some insight, into some of the bikes features.
  13. Rocket
    Your bike is what we refer as a "Mk2" (1300 CC engine), with a totally different pressure plate setup. Yes, Barnett has a conversion kit for it.

    Take a closer look in the spring & cap holes, if I remember correctly, any cracks are usually on the side against the rotor.

    Don, I think there is a error here, in this posting (BOLD).....

    Again??? He already did that................ Read the quote above yours, in this post.....

    Just the Barnett springs are needed, as the scoot is a 84 (1200 cc). The pressure plate conversion is for the 86 & up motors (1300 cc). When I changed mine out, there was about 1/2" difference in the uncompressed length, between the old ones & the Barnetts. It cured mine of this problem, was a $20. CDN fix.

    Now, who would think of you, having actually grown up (don't think so), growing older yes, no doubt of that.............. :rotf:

    D'OH!

    Rocket replied to a1bummer's topic in Watering Hole

    That is why, I reversed the internal cable on mine, as it can't be lost. Yes, it is more involved to lube it this way, but so what.....

    It is mounted below the slave cylinder. I had found that the one on Friesman1's bike was loose & leaking oil as a result. Try tightening the 3 mounting screws, but not too tight, as the plastic plate can be be brittle & crack. His had erratic readings, sometimes working & sometimes not.

    Like I told you before, I'll gladly take it off your hands, as it is a bolt on fit, for my rear bumper setup......
