A standard S3 Li125 engine would require what size exhaust and carb? I'm confused especially with exhausts as there only seems to be two or three types out there and all seem to be for TS1 or GP's.
Should be 18mm
Also what are the chrome rings about? My frame has a chrome ring on the steering column but I see all over the place "chrome ring" "non chrome ring" on certain parts. Is a ser 1 ring different to a 2 or 3?
Series 1,2,and 3 all have chrome rings, later S3, from 67 ish changed, to "non chrome ring" ie they didnt have one. S1,2 and 3 chrome rings are all different.The chrome ring is fixed in place with a grub screw at the front of the frame, in fact, S1 and s2 rings are the same , apart from the s2 one is fitted 180 deg to the S1 and has the grub screw locating hole is drilled on the opposite side.
Should I go for inline brake switch or bracket brake switch for the rear as there doesn't seem to be a mounting point for a switch on the strut and remembering the hassle I got with my 1961 152L2 from old bill who I used to carry a copy of the law about to show my lack of brake light wasn't a crime, I think a brake light is pretty much a "to do" hehe
The switch is mounted through the two oval holes on the front strut
Finally, the gear link bar, does this have some sort of bush inside the small hole fitting to the arm as surely that is a place for wear if not protected?
no , no bush and yes it is a place for wear. However the rubber boot covering it, and filled with grease, dose a pretty good job at minimizing wear
TY again, I am slowly getting to grips with it all

I do have an identical but never used chrome one but I didn't know there was an issue with hub plates
It has been serviced fully just haven't cleaned the outside since I did all the bearings and stuff, any particular backplate I should aim for?
