Another one bites the dust.. Laughing

At least mine had the decency to stay in one piece, it went round the clock and fell off the spindle after 500 miles. Whistle

Same happened with mine, I left it broken for 6 months because the mileage didn't go up! Laughing I fixed it a week before selling it, it had covered 33 miles in 6 months. Cool

It was only the cable, and cost £25 to replace including labour (I'm not a spanner monkey either)

I bet I could replace that cable with only a screwdriver. Razz

I'll be damned if that moped ever got a fairing taken off in the near year I owned it, I detested it and abused it in every way possible! Twisted Evil

When I finally get a pretty bike to play with, it'll be off with the fairings every weekend for a scrub down. Angelic

You don't have to be a mechanic, or rocket scientist for that matter. Chances are it's just a knurled nut to unscrew at both ends then pull the middle wire out.

Clue: If it's in 2 pieces it's broke. Wink
