....Then moved on to the headset. I tried to fit the gear change (expensive one from a well known Italian make). That didn’t go well. The handle part is out of plane with the housing part so when you twist it, one side grinds in to the handlebar. That will be going back.

The dealer initially said that it must be my handlebars that were skewif. However, after a video or two were swapped, they agreed that I did have a faulty part. Now swapped.

I've done 2 reverse pull drums. Both were very effective and I still run one now. The first one I did used a gp cam and while it stopped well, it came on so suddenly that I was scared to touch the lever! So I put it back to standard.
I'm not certain that it was the different cam that caused this, but it's all i can think of.
Just a tip in case you find the same issue.
Cheers. I too ran one on another scooter fitted with this engine. I have spent some time fettling the shoes to try and ensure they both engage at the same time. I shall consider what you say about the GP cam if it is fierce

I note he also mentions locking the front wheel and he has reverse pull too....just saying
