flywheel deal

After a few weeks and countless phone calls to hassle them along the machine shop finally made contact and exclaimed that my new hybrid flywheel was ready. They managed to remove the centre from my old wheel and put it into the scootrs one and balance it all nicely. The work looked great, its a lot lighter than a stock one, the chap didnt charge me a lot (some cash and some beer) and I even got a spark out of the system when I put it back into the scoot (very late at night - note the photo).It will need further fiddling with the timing to get it to fire though, but that can wait because im going on a... scooter trip!

After keeping an eye on a good cheap PX200 in Melbourne, and falling over a free avenue to get there I decided to take a week off to go over, buy it, and ride it back along the Great Ocean Rd, or two weeks if the weather is good and ill do a lap of Tasmania too. Time to break out the gps!
