Hi all.
Not a big worry but just out of interest, should the Speedo needle on the 200 be wobbly when I'm riding around? It kind of jitters or vibrates a little - enough to be noticed.
I recently cleaned out the front hub of all the plasticised grease and replaced the worm gear, and I was hoping that might have cured it. Just further related, I had to replace the Speedo cable last year as when I bought the scooter, the cable was broken. I replaced inner and outer and made sure they were greased prior to fitting, robot style.

This plastic drive gear is a known weak link. Pull your's out and see what shape it is in.
