    The engine bushes are sometimes a bitch, as for the forks I'm not sure, maybe easier, cost effective to fit new ones.

    i think he means it might work out better just to replace the forks if they are cheapys.

    as for engine bushes it depends on the scooter, on my runner it was fiddly but not difficult and didnt require the engine removing just needed the main bolt removed and the engine tilting down
