    Friends got a Kymco 125cc, and it's been stood for around 6-8 weeks, flat battery.

    He's just fitted a new battery, and it fires up straight away now, but he says it won't roll backwards, and there's no power when he rev's.

    Any ideas? I'm only going on what he's said in FaceBook messages.

    Crap build up in the hub or brake spline sticking. Needs stripping out, spline included. Probably find that the brake spline has got excessive crap build up on it and the springs are not strong enough to release the pads fully. Had it recently on a runner
