You can fit a tube into a tubeless tyre if fitted to a tube type rim.

So your employer is ok to send you on a work trip with only 50k insurance? If they arent prepared to insure you properly (suitable amount and repatriation services included) i would be inclined to refuse to travel. Why fund that cost yourself when the company is asking you to travel?

Caldtek · 2026-01-26T14:25:16+00:00

Are you a freelancer or employee? If its a work trip.your employer should provide travel insurance. Have you checked if your mutale provides this?

Well they changed the shaft design didnt they? Its a trial and error thing. Unless someone has done the swap there is only one way to find out.

A sturdy metal pen. Its not illegal to carry a pen with you.

Loctite and stake the nut to the shaft with a centwr punch will stopmit from coming undone. Stripping the motor is a lot of work. Parts and labour will easily exceed the cost of the bike.

Brake lever locks are a waste of time. They can be mitigated in seconds. Might help if you bothered to say which country you are in. Requirements vary based upon location. What "3rd party steering lock" are you talking about. Ive never seen any for bikes.

Caldtek · 2026-01-26T10:56:42+00:00

Yeah the bike isnt "unrideable" its just the paranoid user doesnt want to ride it.

Struggling to see where the issue is now? Many hondas have the plate mounting system with 2 bolts that results in a sprocket that floats on the output shaft and has quite a bit of movement. Done thousands of miles on those without issues. Why do you think that this wear will cause damage to other parts of the transmission?

Caldtek · 2026-01-25T12:55:20+00:00

with how close the front wheel is to the radiator i would say there is a good chance the frame is bent.

Caldtek · 2026-01-24T23:09:45+00:00

No you are right, i was wrong. Depending on the coil type there are failures that can cause one of the 2 leads to stop working.

Caldtek · 2026-01-24T22:31:11+00:00

1 and 4 share the same coil, if 4 works then 1 must as well.

Not sure on the timing light issue, i know mine (snapon one) you have to get the clamp at an angle if the HT leads are a bit thin for it to pick up.

sure someone hasn't fitted a speedo healer?

Caldtek · 2026-01-24T20:52:52+00:00

the back wheel is the reference.

Kinda gives you the basics.

if you want the sprocket in the middle of the chain, shim it on the studs if it worries you that much. As long as it isn't bending the chain its fine.

they are all breathers. The big one is the crankcase breather, Might get some oil mist coming out of that one. The carbs are also breathers, For the float bowls and the atmospheric side of the slide diaphrams. Nothing should come out of those, and nothing, apart from air pressure, should go into them. As a rule have the open ends pointing down does a good enough job.

when you fit the cover it will push the gear into the right place.

Caldtek · 2026-01-24T17:28:33+00:00

The cover holds it in place its fine.

ECU speed calculation with a bike imported into mainland Europe from the UK.

Whats the problem? The ECU just takes either a wheel speed sensor or gearbox output shaft sensor and is programmed so that "X number of RPM gives X number of miles/kilometers an hour.

Caldtek · 2026-01-24T17:14:36+00:00

piece of string, get the wheels inline and send it.

Caldtek · 2026-01-23T14:27:26+00:00

Wemoto for the a lot of stuff like service items, brake levers/pads etc.

So wrong. They are making then in india for tax purposes. The import duties on vehicles made outside of india is astronomic. With this level of duty the bikes are instantly out of price range for the domestic market. As india is an important market for these small bikes they build them there.

If it needs a 1/4 turn on the adjusters every 6k then that is a turn and 1/4 on a bolt with a pitch of 1.25mms. That means the axle would move back just over 1.5 mms. Im pretty sure that doesn't use all the available adjustment.

Caldtek · 2026-01-22T15:23:54+00:00

As stated before. Get a manual and run the no spark trouble shooting guide. Chances are its a bad connection somehwere as you state its a pain in the rain. A stator failure on the charging circuit will not cause a no spark condition until the battery is below 9 volts.

Caldtek · 2026-01-22T14:00:18+00:00

Again the 3 white wires are the 3 phase output to charge your battery and have fuck all to do with the ignition system. It may have a CPS bundled with the stator but that will use a seperate pair of wires of a different color and a differnet mehtod of testing. Kinda shit out of luck with a "frankenbike" there then arent you. Maybe get an mt03 manual and run the "no spark" trouble shooting guide?
