Pegaso´s are 650´s arent they.....err. 562 Rotax single which looks very pretty but for God´s sake dont be tempted. To work on the engine book a weeks leave just to remove the plastic. Then buy a handbook and learn Austrian. The owners manual free to down-load at Aprillia is in Italian, but of bog all use. The workshop manual can be obtained if you look hard enough though.
The bike was bought with 12 months MOT but sounded terrible on the leccy start. No problems to me Ive owned big four strokes and this had a kick start too. ON THE LEFT! Could I start the bugger? Anyway dont try kickstarting on the sidestand as this snaps.
Before purchase I read a little about Rotax and was reassured that CCM used the engines to good effect and that spares were not a problem. Fair enough. Foolishly I failed to ask the price of the spares and when told that a sprag clutch bearing, etc etc for the leccy start could be ordered but would take a month, I thought the price quoted was Lira. It wasnt and Im skint. I have no option but to get the bloody thing up and running, shiny and clean and off load it to some poor optomistic fool like myself. Never again.

PS To the Aprillia designer who came up with the frame for this little jem, try the crank TDC locking bolt for yourself you TW£T. Cant bloody do it can you!
