Re: New owner on Isle of Wight
Whatever. Please don't expect me to plough through that post.
Simply saying what I've done, a few times, in the past.
3 bikes. Never paid a penny.

Re: New owner on Isle of Wight
In fact.... I heard a muttering... that PTU are a bit peeved at the burden DVLA are putting on them over this, in demanding NOVA for all vehicles, even those obviously not imported outside of models sold here originally.
At least one person I've dealt with was told by PTU to go back to DVLA and tell them, it wasn't necessary...

Re: New owner on Isle of Wight
Due to being busy helping a family member last weekend - I couldn’t get my cub finished in time for the southern softies meet this weekend
Made some progress yesterday though
Not had first start yet. But close.
My old C90 engine cover with the cutout for footrest is in bad condition. So I will have to leave the Lifan covers on. I’ve cut the right hand footrest off, I will heat/bend/thin out the arm so it fits between the Lifan case and exhaust.
I had a choice of exhaust gaskets, copper and a metal/composite one. Not sure which is Best and which way around it should be fitted? I guessed the flat edge against the head?
I bought a set of connectors from eBay as recommended on the Club FB group, pleased I did because one of them matches the Honda loom plug perfectly. I’m guessing the colours match up on the Lifan?
Turned ignition on. Neutral light worked, but Indicators wouldn’t flash?
16/39 and new chain fitted, I noticed there was a spacer missing from the rear wheel, luckily one of the Old barn find CUBs had one I could steal.

Re: New owner on Isle of Wight
C90T running tonight
Quick go up and down a private road, all seems good. Just got to weld the footrest and then in for mot.
Hopefully I can get that done this week... and tax insure it Saturday, then run it in over the long weekend.

Re: New owner on Isle of Wight
Late night yesterday, heating and bending the footrest to clear the Lifan clutch case (whilst missing the exhaust and brake pedal).
New Wemoto legsheild fitted in the dark, dropped it off at mot station this morning.
Still jobs to do, but want to get it on the road and run-in.

Re: New owner on Isle of Wight
Try the clutch adjustment in the guides ,and the brake should be easy .
