I have been on here for a while, i just have never posted. I have been reading and gaining information from bear and others.
I have an aero 125 and I love it :smile:
I have slowly been rebuilding it, I use gn2 oil from Honda and I replace the parts with (if i can) oem parts or I have been cleaning them to bring them back to good shape. When I got it, it did not have the clutch assembly so I sourced one from eBay.
I have now been riding it for about a year and I can't stop driving. I recently replaced the original tires with new Michelin tires, and now it floats :love: :love:
I check the bearings, brakes, hoses, bulbs and everything is working great. It has some cosmetic damage from the previous owner, when i went to purchase it they rolled it out of their closet :lol: :lol:
no joke so the paint is still like new :thumbwink:
right now I am in the process to recover the seat to new and I am also looking for the front spoilers :sad:

but i rides like a dream at 50mph with ease
here are some pics

Very nice scooter. Spoilers are a real problem. They are NLA from Honda and you just have to watch flea-bay like crazy. That's where I found my new, unpainted set.

Question, is the foot brake an issue? Mine drove me crazy and is why I converted to a left hand brake for the rear.

Bear,

Yeah I saw your thread about the rear brake pedal, I actually don't have a problem with it. I did take the entire assembly off and cleaned it and put some slight grease for a smooth pedal, and now it works great.

Motormike,

I saw your post about the new purchase, It looks great. Everything on your bike looks new. How does she run?

Mine worked just fine, except without a clutch on the left side it just felt really awkward.
