    You don’t seem to be having much luck with that thing ay? :( Has to be the clutch I guess. Have you tried rocking it back and forward on the ground forcing the wheels to drag a little to see if it free’s anything up?

    I don’t know these little bikes but I am assuming they are all auto?

    EDIT: Ignore this post – too late!

    It had plenty of drive when you took it to the trailer yesterday evening???:huh:
    Only Dave could answer this problem as he was the last person dicking with the clutch.
    Or maybe it is a bit like me and would rather be at Wauchope.

    Life Lesson # 1.

    Do not sell items or do favours for friends or family. Because the chances are what was a perfectly good item when it left your hands all of a sudden does not do as expected when in the hands of friends or family. If you charge full price for it and sell to someone you don’t know it will be perfectly O.K. The amount of times I have sold/given either new or 2nd hand pc’s to friends and family which have been tested checked and are working perfect all of a sudden become lemons, but If i were to sell those at full price, no discount no favours they never have an issue.
    Then you get the guilts and wish you never gave it to them.

    Just my experience, no negatives, no insuations just my personal observations.

    Cheers
    Chris.
