scooters don't use powervalves so not sure, TBH i wish my bike didnt have power valves at the minuite lol.

I felt the same with my old Yamaha 350 YPVS when the clamp bridging the two powervalves generated loads of play. It ran really roughly until I located the problem.

the h100 i had 3 year ago ad 41k on the clock too.

No wonder it felt a little tired! 41K is pretty good going for an old 100cc aircooled stroker!

have you saw if your old h100 is still in use today? seeing when it was last taxed..

I'm sure I did (I looked up all my old vehicles at various points), but prior to buying the blue one in 1996 I contact the person I originally sold my old black H100 to and asked if they still had it. They wrote back and said it was a great little bike but was stolen and never recovered. The only thing that was ever found was its number plate in someones garden along with a load of other bike spares. They suspected this person of stealing bikes and then breaking them for spares

yeh 41k is a lot, saying that my 50cc scooter had, well has (in my garage) 23k on the clock but i think thats km.

as for your old bike, that's a shame.

that'll be 80 on his speedo, when my motorhispania read 70 it was actually 55 at the most, i did get clocked by my mates volvo at 80 going down a steep long hill, ducking down, revs wer at a guess at about 18k lol. speedo showing nearly 100! :O

that had a 70 kit, bigger carb and changed gearing, nearly 75 clockspeed = 60mph or so.

for a moped it's 1mm mate, place i used to mot my mopeds didn't aggree though, cbt instructor told me that

 

[Gav F]

my cbt told me that for moped all you need to do is be able to visibly see the lines of the tread....i found it hard to believe
i might just buy a new front tyre! only £20

 

[AppleSei]
