Picked up the scooter last night. First time on a bike in years, first time riding a geared Vespa (save for a few hundred yards on a mate's) and I have to ride Fitzrovia>Bromley in rush hour. Was a little tense.
All seemed OK but after a few miles it became very hard to change down gears - I had to wrestle it with both hands on a few occasions. Changing up is just fine. Any ideas what it could be?
