The new Sticky Manual, 4th Edition, is here—When something brilliant gets even better!

What's new in the 4th edition?

Sticky has completely revised the book from the ground up. The layout remains as clear and organized as we’ve come to expect. However, the content has been significantly expanded. Of particular note are the many practical technical updates.

New Topics & Expansions (Excerpt)

Plus, countless new practical tips on gaskets, carburetors, emergency wiring, tire repairs, engine case repairs, and much more.

My personal favorite tip so far is the overhaul of the brake arm for the disc brake.
A brilliant approach to disassembling the brake arm for recoating and then reassembling it with a new AXK1528 axial needle bearing.

Who should definitely read this book?

Anyone who owns, rides, or wants to own a Lambretta of the Li family one day. Here, the term “required reading ” should be taken literally.

Conclusion

The fourth edition of the Sticky Manual raises the bar even higher. Anyone who seriously works on Lambrettas simply can’t do without this book. We really have to say: Thank you, Sticky! Our lives would be poorer without your ongoing work on the Complete Spanner’s Manual.
