So glad you had the common sense to stop riding and investigate. I think thread-lock and torque settings are a must. These machines have been engineered this way for a reason. Another good lesson learned. Thanks for the video! Happy scootering! 🛵👍

Been there, done it ! Fitted a new timing chain to a Ford Granada 2 litre twin cam 16 valve - guess who didn’t locktite the bottom / crankshaft pulley ? Customer was over the moon with how quiet and smooth the car was until it went bang !

You have demonstrated that common sense prevails! Knowing the noises is good, and picking up on them important. Good learning curve, keep the video's coming!!..

Thank you for this information.

When replacing nuts there is something called nyloc nuts there got nylon inside the thread stopped them vibrating off. The down side you need to put new ones when you take them. They are not to expensively priced

Wow that could've ended badly indeed mate, me I just ride em lol, I leave the futtery stuff to the professionals, HTR and look forward to your next video 👍

Good call investigating soon, just glad your ok . Thanks for sharing . Stay safe .

Flipping heck mucker, that was a close call. Glad you didn't come off the scooter mate 👍. We have all got things wrong at some point trying to do things ourselves, but at least you have not been hurt and the GT all good 👍. Keep at it matey, and stay safe. 🛵😉

Glad to see you survived your ordeal , could of been Nasty , Good advice listen to your scoot , feel the difference you get to know how it should ride . Safe riding Buddy .

Scary stuff indeed! Glad that you & your scooter are OK 👍

glad you got it sorted in time bud. all videos are appreciated..

Good call investigating the strange noise, glad you're okay. I would call it the case of 'a loose nut behind the wheel'.

Was going to do mine after watching your video, think I will wait until Torque wrench information, good to see your OK' keep up the good work

Glad your OK mate blue locktight every time a take out the transmission. Both nut's . Had something similar but it was the variater nut. If you can't the torque setting use the torque gun but don't go mad.

Hi. Im about to change my belt in the next few days. Really appreciate it if anyone here could reply with the actual torque settings for the clutch nut and the bolt holding the slider housing...........Variator?

Glad your OK I guess it was a near miss! and the pros and cons of self maintenance

You mean that such an important nut has no securing system, like a second lock nut or even a small hole through the shaft for the split pin ect, seems like an over sight to me, but still well spotted sir!

Great advice

Keep up the videos well done Rush Liverpool

While this is understandable its actually a pretty common thing with complete novice when trying to work on a vehicle they know little about, I've seen a few similar stories like this, it's a learning curve, but this sort of mistake could have been expensive or deadly!

Jees.that looks scary big guy just watchin the now, Av just ordered a GT125 in black, think al be leavin the oily bits to those in the no..

The clutch bell might've lost enough material to weaken it?

Damn. Definitely lucky. Clutch is known to explode and smash the transmission case if not tightened properly. Definitely lucky there mate.

I’ve got a Vespa t5 and a lambretta series1 Just been to Bridlington on the lambo and my mate was on his royal alloy gp 200 wow he was flying I am gonna get a 300 for the long rallies Rush Liverpool

i watched your belt change video and you did nhat nut up wih a battery rachett drill and it didnt click like it was racheting up the nut, so I imeadiately thought thats not done up properly and in the abscense of a Torque wrench being used it seemed even worse and I thought to myseklf oh well hell soon find out wont he.

ive had the belt snap on me vespa gts on the motorway the back wheel locked solid my mate was behind me on his gts lucky for me i was ok take ya scooter to midland motorcycle centre sandiacre for any work their great but ther is a problem with getting certain parts at the moment

I'd use thread lock on the clutch and variator nuts.

Everything okay with the Scooter since the mishap mate? You still alive? 😆 Been a bit quiet recently. Hope all is well.

Was told by a dealer who sells the they are rubbish 🗑
