Hello, newbie here

[MikeNeos50]

Just a post to say hello, just picked up my 1st bike, its a yamaha neos 50, bought it purely because it was cheap and i need something to cut my spendings down when commuting for work!

Its got an idling problem (technical help thread to follow lol) but for a 2002 plate neos with 2700 miles on i thought £150 wasnt a bad price.

It's all about seasons.
Revmaster, when did your friend buy his?
Scooters are going so cheap on eBay now as it's winter.

[MikeNeos50]

Mine was cheap mainly because of cosmetic damage plus a busted ignition barrel where somebody had attempted to steal it but failed. Ive now bought around £100 worth of parts to put it right. So it still works out nice and cheap

My scooter is a stolen recovered so my steering lock is knackered.
Also have loads of scratches on it and I paid £575
How much was a new ignition barrel?

[MikeNeos50]

I paid £50 for the ignition barrel set and got it from Holland

came with the seat catch part aswell.

How do you fit them because I had a look at mine and it's welded to the frame? I'm hoping to get a new one because then apart from the cosmetic scratches the scooter is perfect.

Cant say ive looked that closely yet, i will be working on it thursday next so once i've done it m8 i will post up a pic or 2. I have been concentrating on the idling problem so far.

Thanks, I hope you get your idle problem sorted.
