First time bike buyer in Ireland

First time bike buyer in Ireland

Hello lads, a month or so ago i posted a thread on this lovely forum asking some general stuff about getting into bikes here in eire.

I must say, all is well and the cash is in hand and im about to buy.

I went to see a scooter today, and after taking a spin i concluded it was pretty good. Its a mbk ovetto 2004, the fella selling it is not really into them but he does resell stuff. So the bike needs a battery, stand spring, few bulbs and i need to change the belt rollers and whatnot ( im working in a car mechanic shop so)

I just wanted to post the pics here and ask if anyone knows anything about this bike or can give me some lead on anything that may be on its way out.

From what i concluded: Steering is straight, no sideway movement in the wheels, stop light works, indicators work on one side so i supouse the regulator is okay and only the bulbs need changing. It was vibrating a really small bit uphill, but when you take off you can feel the belt being old and not pulling in time so i believe that doing the replacement of belt rollers and small plastic bits around the roller will do the trick.


Ty for your input lads.
