Knackered silent block?

[dickie]

Is this knackered?

I'm taking the motor out anyway, so it's easy to change while I'm at it. But is it dead or am I being a fanny?

The rubber has become unbonded from metal of the mount,I would change it.I have one of these on the kickstart side http://www.afrayspeed.co.uk/index.php?p ... tributeID=

It's worse than that. It's dead Jim.

Well it is now!




In case it's not obvious the engine bolt was a little reluctant so I "got medieval on his ass" to quote a classic film.

Gaz, I thought I'd bought bgm but noticed the SIL logo too so I guess they must be SIL?

If it matters I can look back through my records tonight and be sure.

I was just interested to consider the brand when buying new.

It wasn't the SIL part that got me wondering but the CRP initials ?

Ive seen the 3x hole with SRP (Scooter Restorations) and S logo...........and used them successfully. Ive never had an issue with SRP ones (still have them in one bike) and am using AF/Uni ones in the S2 and SX, to date they have proved fine.

I'd guess I've done between 2000 and 3000 miles on them.

Cheers Dickie

Interesting......as is the price !

I've have considerable more mileage than you quote out of SRP and the Uni ones in TS1 motors.

I had a pair of them a couple of years ago but the kick start side failed in a few hundred miles, not worth the money imho. I replaced the failed one with an AF extended one and it has been brilliant.

Thanks for advice gents.

I've ordered an af extended one.

I use the extended mount on a couple of my scooters. Do they improve the handling? Difficult to tell really. I hope you remembered that you'll need a longer rod as well?

[ROClarke]

Is it necessary to buy the special tool to remove them?
