Hi all, have recently bought a vespa px125 disc (08) but the biting point on the clutch is very late (lever almost released). How do i adjust it so the biting
point is earlier, say lever half way out. Any help from anyone would be gratefully received
getting fed up pulling wheelies when trying to pull away at lights,junctions,etc thanks in advance steve |

There is a "barrel adjuster" just before the clutch actuating arm (underside of the engine) you would need to screw this in a bit.
It's trial and error to get it in the right place, but bear in mind if you slacken the cable too much the clutch may not disengage fully when you try to change gear. It may just be a case of getting used to the bite point when riding. Did you buy it from a shop? If so go back to the dealers ask them to show you the adjuster, and check that it's correct. Jim

Cheesy I notice you're from Bradford, so get down to JK Hirst at Girlington, but go to the workshop door at the rear of the shop and just have a word with
the machanic. Whereabouts in Bradford are you?

That's not too far from Hirsts. Get it sorted and you can join us for our end of season ride out a week on Sunday!
