Some pictures of the Li125 rusteration.

A scooter that left showing its old aged patina on the outside but with new and modern parts from the best suppliers.

Front forks rebuilt with MB products, front hub rebuilt with new quality bearings, seals and brake shoes finished with new BGM Classic tyres and tubes.

All new electrical switches made to look old, used and belonging to the scooter, feeding through a new BGM wiring loom into new junction boxes and regulator.

Modern SIP control cables attached at each end of the scooter.

A new Li150 cylinder top end fitted, breathing through a Scootopia carburettor and MB air filter.

Engine rebuilt using the best parts on the market including the bearings and seals.

It may look like an old, used barn find but underneath it’s like new!

A restored Li with just under 250 miles on the clock dropped off for a health check and issue with cold starting.

When dropped off the owner said it didn’t handle too well.

Checking the dates of the tyres both of them were 16 years of age, both wheels were near on completely flat and turned out the front hub, front wheel and rear wheel were both loose!

Moving onto the starting issue, flicking the choke on did nothing and wouldn’t lift the choke plunger even with the tensioner wound all the way out. The carburettor was loose on the manifold, one of the throttle top bolts was missing and the other bolt missing along with other loose screws.

The side light and tail light weren’t working when switched on.

After checking around the scooter, the owner of the scooter was contacted with what was found and the go ahead was given to complete any work required.

The carburettor was stripped and cleaned down, everything tightened and missing bolt installed. A new choke cable and complete choke kit was fitted with the correct elbow, now opening and closing as it should and tightened onto the manifold.

The side lights were not wired up and had no power going to them so a bit of wiring and the side light and tail was working as it should when flicked on, checking the other lights and horn.

Moving onto the front end, the front wheel was removed whilst removing, the front brake cable was routed incorrectly so was rerouted to its correct position.

The front wheel was stripped down and upon removing the split rim and tube, the tube had been nipped when put together the first time. A new Continental white wall tyre and BGM tube were fitted onto the split rim along with the rear wheel also.

Front brake adjusted as previously was touching the grip when applied, rear brake cable adjusted as was going to the floor and didn’t apply at all before adjustment.

Both front and rear wheels and hubs torqued to specifications. Brakes tested and lights checked one last time before being cleaned and awaiting its collection!
