Scorpa

Hi all just fitted new seals to my forks but not sure on the amount and weight of oil to put back in . They look like they had been leaking for a while so cant measure what came out , any help would be much appreciated

Hi, Looking to buy a 2008 sy250 ........ What sort of money should be in it as a clean example ?? Any bad points to look out for on them and you might as well tell me the good points while your at it Cheers

can anyone post a picture of their footrest mounting brackets from , i think an 09 bike. It looks as though they bolt onto the alloy flat section and i am wondering if i can use them for a pre 65 project.

Hi again.....more problems.....! How do you remove the shock to swingarm bush, I haven't tried yet as I don't know how theyre held in. The only thing I've done is remove the bolt, and cleaned the area with wd40. It looks as though they're pressed in from each side. I've supported the rear wheel so as not to snap the brake cable ( as read on another post ) when it all comes loose. Cheers.

Im after another set of Raptors, anyone know who has the cheapest inc P&P?

Whilst out on the bike today, after about 15 mins I noticed water leaking from the overflow. I stopped the bike, give it 5mins to cool down, and tried again......to the same again. The fan works on the temp switch and does work. When I got home, I got it warm again and the same happened again. Can somebody tell me the possible causes, I think its probably the head gasket, but I don't know for sure.......could it be something else ? Where do I start, should I drain the coolant off, and check the impellar and seal firstly. If it is the head gasket, should I replace the little ends, and rings at the same time..........what would you do ? Cheers, Andy…

hello does anyone have a parts list/pictures for a 2001 sy250 ?

Hi, Ive just bought an 03 sy 250 r and want to spend a day on it before changing the oil, and other things. My question is - Is the little bolt, about 40mm up from the bottom of the crank case the oil level indicator. What is the best gear oil. What is the best premix oil - I currently use " silkolene comp 2 plus sx " At what ratio, I heard 70 -1 ( is this 16ml per 1000 ) What fuel, Unleaded or high octane super unleaded. A;so, what plug. Sorry for all the questions, but I like to start off right, and then if things go wrong they only go a little bit wrong... All help gratefully recieved and accepted......any advice is good advice........as long as it isn't sh*t …

Hi all got the chance of a Scorpa SY 250 2003 model for around

Did anyone by a 09 250f or know if there were any sold??? I have an 09 SY250 2t,not many of these about,was just curious as to weather any 4ts were sold,or even brought in??? Benz

I noticed that my front rim has a few little cracks on the edge, and was wondering if it could be welded. Are they aluminium, or ?. Or do I leave it be...? I don't want to fork out for a new rim, and was cosidering painting them anyway, with Plastikote Black......or is there another type of paint thats ideal for this. I could get them powder coated without removing the spokes, they just bake them at a lower temp and the masking tape doesn't burn off. Also, my rear disc is a bit thin, and wondered where to get one from......so far my searches are fruitless. My rear brake isn't very good, but I don't know how good it should be, Theres plenty of oil in it and no air, co…

Hi, trying to remove clutch basket nut from a scorpa easy 250, seems stuborn! any ideas how to shift it? is it a left hand thread? i'm asuming it's a right hand thread like jap bikes? Can anyone help?? rij

Hi I am considering getting myself a Scorpa Long Ride but have a few questions

Hi I have just bought a Scorpa TYS 125 F which has just been used by the previous owner for "pottering" about , I have stripped the lights off it to day and removed the speedo and bracket and steering lock etc to start riding trials. Has anyone else done this and did you remove the steering lock bracket which is welded to the steering head ? and where do you mount the choke lever if you re move the speedo bracket ? any advice or tips would be appreciated thanks Dave

Hi, again.......another conundrum........ I have removed the fuel tank to prep it for a re-spray, and found that the inside on the right ( sat on bike ) has been rubbing on the engine and now has an impression of the cylinder head and bolt head melted into it....luckily its not gone through. I purchased a fibre-glass repair kit a while ago, for repairing the mudguard,( by the way it worked brilliantly ) and was wondering if it can be used on the fuel tank to patch it up ( don't know if the resin will react with the plastic tank )....also thinking of putting a strip where the kickstart rattles against it, just to thicken it up a bit. Should there be spacers behind the t…

It seems like its been months since the announcement...now nothing. Any news on when bikes and parts will start rolling...did they run out of orange paint? The last rumor I heard was no factory activity till summer. Any news out there?

Hi all. I need to carry a spare spark plug in my tool kit, since I am going for longer rides. I searched this forum and found that people are using plugs with different heat range. From 5 to 8. Confusing. Some examples:

Hi all, does anyone know if the damping screw on the rear shock will come all the way out, and if so what what effect will this have, i.e. can I put it back in again.. I don't want to remove it, but have started tweaking the suspension a bit, and feel limited, as I don't want the screw to fall out. There's a place not too far from me in Leigh, that repairs/reconditions shocks and the like, haven't spoken to him yet as theres no need to, but if things get messed up I'm sure I can get it fixed, but do I need to know the specs of the shock, and if so where will I find them..... Thanks again, Andy. PS. To anybody getting fed up of answering my cries f…
