I've had fuels stolen from my old Vespa parked in the front yard. Quite easy to get at the fuel tap/hose, just under the bodywork on the right hand side at the back. Have a quick check that the fuel hose is attached.


Otherwise - does it have problems starting or starts fine? If it does have issues, it may be that the fuel tap is dud and not shutting off the fuel flow. Cheap part, easy to fit.

Honda Riders in Peckham is the one my local car mechanic directed me to when I first got my bike. When it was time for a service, I got 3 quotes and HR was the cheapest (?40ish compared with ?70ish at a place in Croydon and ?120 at an official dealer - all for the same job!).


In the end, I went for the even cheaper option of spending ?16 on a Haynes manual and doing it myself.

    • I understand that, but I can't really grasp how it works in practice, but never mind 😵‍💫
    • It's local independent shops supporting one another.
    • Adding my recommendation for Niko too. Found his number on here and he came out at short notice on a busy weeknight to help us with a kitchen sink issue that had flooded our kitchen that day. Really helpful, responsive and went out of his way to fit us in and help us out. Very reasonably priced too - would thoroughly recommend!
    • Looks like it! Though according to the OP, they are "golden, hand-crimped parcels  packed with flavour" 😀 I don't understand. Admittedly my brain is functioning at a very low level at the moment. Does that mean various local shops get together and agree to offer a discount to anyone who shows them a receipt from one of the other ones dated the same day? I can't see what's in it for either of them, unless people shop somewhere they wouldn't otherwise have done just to get the discount. Is it for vaguely  linked things, say cheese from a cheese shop, wine from another shop? Showing my age there.  And then suppose it's always the same shop which people go to second to get the discount? What's in it for the first shop? People go there in order to get the discount in the second shop?
