How can a single piece of plastic be this much work… I hadn’t realised right away but the back end of the gamma was a little short. The back mudguard which by the way does a lot more than just guard against mud was about […]
How to adjust the oil flow from the 2 stroke oil pump on an Rgr125 Gamma was the subject of a thread lately on a site I have been known to frequent. I made an attempt at an answer for them and since writing that […]
While I was first looking to start the engine I discovered that there was no oil in the gearbox. It wasn’t a surprise to me at the time because I didn’t know if there had been oil in the gearbox when it was laid up […]

I didn’t pay a whole lot of attention to this part of the bike during the strip down, I suppose partly because it was removed early on and partly because it isn’t that complicated and appeared to be in good nick. However, when it was […]
