Couldn't work out how to get all 4 brushes to sit, so I used the blue wire to seat them, and pulled them through once they were properly in place.

How do you lot do your brushes?

Anyhow, I'll fit that back in the truck tomorrow.

Yeah, I knew it was going to be the kind of job that can generate swear words from a particularly serene monk, so I decided to cheat.

Actually works pretty well!

I just give it a wiggle and they usually move out of the way as you slide the armature in :lol:

How do you keep yours from popping out then?

I slide each brush in as i wiggle the armature in :lol: there is a bit of a technique to it but you get that hang of doing it when you have rebuilt as many as me :lol: think i have a starter apart every few months :lol:

All 4 of them, yeah. I'm curious! It's not an everyday occurrence!

Been going through this thread again as I know there was a point I needed clarifying.

So a quote from Anton reads...

To start with, you have to take a compusory test (CBR test, I think it is). I passed one of those years ago, but it only lasts a year, and during that year you're restricted to 4 stroke 125's max, and have to have an L plate.

Matey you aren't restricted to 4 strokes only, it's just that due to EU emissions tests a 2 stroke would never pass. That's why none are made new anymore. You can however find some cheap 2 stroke lil' screamers on ebay for maybe £1000, like Suzuki RG125, Yamaha RD etc, even Cagiva Mito's (look like a Ducati 916 and good for 100mph).

Hope you are feeling a bit better and if you decide to get a licence get a 2 stroke 125!! More fun than a fun thing....
