    Worth buying or not ?
    After picking up a cheap ludix blaster I'm looking at doing a few bits and pieces to tidy this little neglected scooter.
    It's mostly cosmetic, not sure why you'd take most of the panels off ? I'm not keen on the spray from the front wheel going everywhere and why would anyone be ? ( middle aged scooterist syndrome )
    So, is the Haynes manual worth buying ? I'm happy to admit that my knowledge of twist and go scooters is very limited but are they all basically the same, mechanically, as the Haynes manual is obviously a bit generic.
    Thanks
    Sean.

    +1 on this .

    they can be very useful, if your able to also grab a copy of the service manual to, they will have a lotta torque settings for the bolts and likes and usually give you a full panel strip down guide .

    electricals your going to be decamping most if not all the bodywork just to get at the loom, a loom replacement means a whole body work removal ( they tend to shove starter relays and fuse boxes up the rear end, and the reg/rect and winker/headlamp relay up the font end good to have that sorta info on a page or two saves one stripping half the scooter naked on the front end to find they shoved the cdi/ fues box in the tail lol)

    Take certain things in them with a pinch of salt, good for guidelines.
