I've recently been having to tighten my rear hub once every couple of weeks or so. I never had to do this before. A harbinger of badness, a need for more elbow grease, or no biggie?

I can't find the code stamped near the ignition barrel. Where is it?

Agreed. I can barely tie my shoes, and I have changed the oil, tires, and all cables without difficulty. None of these things may not be that advanced, but it once took me 10 minutes to find out how ...

Hey, all. I think I lost the only key to my 2005 Bajaj. Any idea if Al still has some? if not, what would be the route one would take to get a replacement? Can someone kick me in the balls for not ...

Welcome, Desert Dweller. You have obviously already found this forum to be uber helpful and the atmosphere friendly. Hope the Chetak continues to treat you well!!! How many miles on it?

Whatever you do, do NOT go to www.fantasticcontraption.com.

It will ruin whatever productivity you may have had prior to this abysmal discovery. It took me 9 weeks to post this after I initially ...

wow, that thing had to be stolen. anyone who knows anything about the chetak would never give one away for that price...

To check the play in your rear hub. I had been experiencing some wierd shifty feelings when I would accelerate and slow down (sort of an almost imperceptible rear sideways push). Today as I was wash ...

Lost one, apparently on my first ride after hibernation. Anyone who has an extra to see, PM me and we can work out details.

Hey, welcome. I am in Indy, and it is nice to know a fellow Hoosier Bajaj owner.

Rufusswan- After some internet digging, I figured it out. My dad went to med school at KCOM with Buddy Brayfield. I e-mailed my 'rents anyway, they will be happy to get the blast from the past.

Funny. I told you before that I used to live in Crane, in Stone County. My folks actually knew a couple of the guys in the Ozark Mountain Daredevils. I'll e-mail them and find out their ...

I have never been in a band. Nor do I have much musical expertise. But my wife tells me that I constantly point out what I think would be good band names. And I notice I do. So here are a few I li ...

Love the ride. I really dig that medical box. Where did you get it?

It is interesting that I predicted you would know the answer. But you trumped me by having already answered it. It as though you are able to travel through time, spewing forth Chetak wisdom like som ...

When I was replacing my shifter cables the other day, I noticed a bolt missing that attached the muffler to the case. It is not one of the two bolts that screw in vertically to connect the exhaust pi ...

Yesterday as I was driving home from work (about a 9-mile commute), I lost the ability to shift out of first gear. Luckily, I pulled into the parking lot of a crappy municipal golf course; it was 3 p ...

wow. great pic, and great-looking ride. i'm jealous of both the ride and scenery.

How about key replacements? I am getting mine made today. From this forum and the Yahoo forum, the ones that consistently come up as good replacements are: ILCO X186, DA-24 (Nissan?), and Hillman SU ...

I find that the 90 degree end-of-the-row-of meters parking works the best downtown, and I have never been ticketed. I am starting to see more and more scoots over the past year or so.

The first ...

If this rally gets off the ground, my winter project will be to hitch up the old subaru and find a used trailer on Craigslist for the trip out; not sure I could talk the old lady into letting me ride ...

Wow. I wish I would have known you were in town. It was at the corner of Maryland and New York, right outside Palomino restaurant. That was me; I had a work dinner there that night, and that park j ...

Don't underestimate the use of the better business bureau. Or get a lawyer and wiggle yourself into a new new chetak. As most people here can attest, they are great bikes, and it is unfortunate that ...

With only 360 miles, you should still be under warranty if you bought it new. That is the good news.

The bad news is that all the warranty work I had done took forever; that changed once I was t ...

No that this post is any help to anyone, but I am rooting you on, BIGTIME, Rufus. Argo Al should hire you if you could get some good vids on this forum; if simple repairs were made as easy as they ar ...
