got one of those Mk1's in the scrappers pile at my local shop. Also 2 Mk2's (the 916 lookalikes) which I have robbed shamelessly.
The new Mito 525 is styled after the Cagiva 500 racer and looks amazing.

well its 1st run out didnt go well Evil or Very Mad

got just round the corner from work about 15 miles from my house

i think the chain came off and worked itself round the sprocket Confused

had to drill out the bolt,retap the thread and now all fixed
my own fault really as the chain and sprockets was one thing that slipped my mind Embarassed

Hi

Common power valve problem is that the control unit pops. You then often land up with a valve that closes but will not open.

Unfortunatly the control units are over £100, and are generally only sold new (if you want a warrenty on it) with a servo unit which is the same again.

Think newer setups have a fuse in the circuit so that pops rather than the control unit.

All the best
