I installed the topcase mounting plate onto the luggage rack. Finally can carry a topcase, woo-hoo!
Yesterday got the oil change light flashing, indicating electrical fault with speedo, but no flashing today.

Removed and cleaned the air filter ( which was filthy ! ) removed and cleaned the jets, altered the idle speed and fitted a new Ngk plug to my LML.
Also checked and adjusted the tyre pressures ( which were way too low )
Just been out for a test run and Wow what a difference :D The scoot now accelerates much faster and the handling is transformed just for an hours work, £5 for a plug and £1 for a can of carb cleaner from the pound shop :)
Changed the gear oil myself last week which cost about £3.
These trad style scoots are so cheap to keep on the road as long as you dont mind getting your hands dirty & accept they are not in the same league dynamically as a more modern auto.
