Coming onto topic.

I have a serious issue of not finding a correct speed o meter cable for my bike. So here's one jugar that will help you alot in coming days.

Dont throw away the housing of old spped cable that broke down.
Buy speed cable of any brand.
Now if you look at the end you will notice the difference in the fitting (Where its fiited into front wheel). Fixing that one is the whole story
Take a plier firmly hold the end part of old broken housing (Its like a metal fixing)
Rotate it to take it out. Its easy if you apply proper pressure and rotate the housing.

Now you are done with first part of taking out that metal thingy which will fit into slot of front tyre

Now take out your new housing for speed cable.
Do the same to remove the end of it (I bought the new cable with plastic fitting at the end. so its easy to take of without any pliers even)
just snap on the metal part that you remove from old housing..
Fix it and wolaaa... you have working speed o cable.

(The difference b/w piaggio speed cable and other's is just of a fixing metal thingy that fits into the slot of front wheel mechanic says it "Ulti chori wali cable" i tried it every where but no luck. So tried this and now its working fine.)

(If you acceleration wire is broken, you may fix of any brand, it has some fixing mechanism as other bikes)

According to me, in Pakistan automobile industry, there is monopoly going on i.e. difficult for the new entries.
Then people here are just follow the trends set earlier as if i have to purchase a bike first question will be regarding the resale, yaar what the hell i am buying it for my personal use not to sell it. We have to change this trend and should promote the positive features of every product which is even unknown to many.

I am so obsessed with it and there is a strong reason for it,normally before buying it I already consumed to very beautiful CGs so I was not very hopefull as I knew that its a new company... and I didnt had a little idea about its quality too...

but as time passed I went on surprising my self and was amazed why it is not falling apart like my previuos CGs... it came out real strong and forgave my abusing like a real breeded bike..

its kick fall away and i didnt even knew after a month when i wne to tuning the mechnic asked me where is the kick and i was like "I dont know" and after looking closely to the shaft he told me it had fallen lon time and you didnt know...

Now its been more then a year and self start is the only start, :D:D

talhabinomar (talhabinomar) 2012-06-17 08:56:27 +0500 #1196

If self Start do not work then what will happen ? how will you start it ?

RIP the Kick

vickytulla (vickytulla) 2012-06-17 09:05:30 +0500 #1198

It happened with me so far only one time thank god!! when the batery was topped up by filtered water, the self started choking... so it was hard to get it started, so I removed cluctch breaker swith wires from grip, pushed it fwd in 2nd gear and pressed self start it reve easy even on low batery because I was assisting it with a push and bike started instantly...

I can buy a new kick and place it back , but I am intentionaly doing this to see how far this mini storm can go when on risk... I want to see her falling apart, want to see its rings fried blowing engine.. its a test for this bike, with a regualar use.. as I go to office on it and on weekends some log rides with friends thats it no other use...
