The electrics! built like home plugs you have to undo little brass screws and pull out the wires, madness, again great for easy fixing but pain in ass if you can&#8217;t remember where\u00c2\u00a0which wire went . I just chopped then all off this bike is either getting dash switches or a completely new set of handle bar off a normal moped, this means I&#8217;d have to sort a foot gear change and handle bars that had cable brakes. I&#8217;ll be able to adjust the brake level up and down then and it&#8217;ll be a million times less complicated and lighter,and proper dog leg levers. On the other hand the standard bar setup does work and its all\u00c2\u00a0aluminium which mean i \u00c2\u00a0could polish it up..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>But first i had to fix nikis puncture. tyre off the rim because he drove it here like that. screwed! also the gearbox seal was leaking because a plastic bag got caught up in the chain and wrapped around the shaft, then melted through\u00c2\u00a0friction\u00c2\u00a0and worked its way into the seal. just took the plastic out [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":964,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[35],"class_list":["post-1421","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bajaj-re-2s","tag-bajaj-tuk-tuk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/terraroot.neoneoism.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1421","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/terraroot.neoneoism.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/terraroot.neoneoism.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/terraroot.neoneoism.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/964"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/terraroot.neoneoism.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1421"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/terraroot.neoneoism.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1421\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1424,"href":"https:\/\/terraroot.neoneoism.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1421\/revisions\/1424"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/terraroot.neoneoism.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1421"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/terraroot.neoneoism.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1421"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/terraroot.neoneoism.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1421"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
