Scorpa

Anyone any idea of the paint code for the Blue on an 04 Tank ?? cheers John.

Another of my little used "pets" is a scorpa sy250 racing fitted with a lazy longride kit! one thing that annoys me is that the kickstart batters off the r/hand footpeg every time it is kicked over..... Is it just me missing some way round this, or do we have to live with it???? S.M.

Has anybody made the handlebars higher or lower by adding to or removing the packer/s under the clamps - What do you think? Also are the packers obtainable and where from.

Out riding today and cracked my petrol tank on my 2001 sy250. Petrol leaks out on quite a big crack. Does anybody know if it could be repaired by being plastic welded. or if they have one for sale lying around, a spare. Please. Has it happened to anybody else? Anybody know how much they are brand new?

Whats the std rear sprocket for a 2002 SY 250 (rear) I could do with a tooth off mine as I feel bottom gear does not do much?

I currently own a 2001 sy 250 racing and have the chance to part exchange for a 2005 sy125f,

I took my Scorpa out at the weekend and it run lovely. Brought it home, cleaned air filter and filled it up with petrol. It started and run for about 20 seconds and then stopped. Kicked it a few times and it backfired (very loud). Cleaned carb and cleaned plug and put it back together but with no joy. Has anyone got any ideas.

Hi Dose any one have a contact number for Martin Crosswaite, he is suposed to be selling of his old stock, and i was interested in an SY175 Cheers Glenn

What plug are you guys running if ya scorps? Just intrested to know as mines got a differnt one in from standard. James

I have a 2001 SY 250 racing and it has the usual knock but quite loud. I have had the top end rebuilt with new piston rings and little end, but it is still the same. On the overrun it is loud. But when the throttle is open, even partly, it is much quieter. Any ideas on what causes the knock. I would be very grateful for any help.

Just wondering will the scorpa 250 rear end fit the 125? Can you just buy the guard or do you have to chage the airbox etc etc?? Many Thanks James

Hi Their Just would like to tell fellow Scorpa riders that their is a new petrol tank currently for sale on Ebay.

So which engine oil is everyone using in their SY125/175 as they recommend Motul 300v, so whats the difference between a synthetic that you can use in a car? Or do you need a dedicated one for a motor bike! What about a workshop manuel does Crosswaites do one? would be handy as the one you get the bike with isn't much use.

I understand that Nigel Birkett is now the main importer for Scorpa UK, his website hasn't changed much and no mention of the importership. If you tap in Scorpa uk into google it will still take you to the old website....I was interested in getting hold of the water pump protector off the Scorpa France website (proper alloy job) and I see they do some nice Scorpa clothes. Tried to get hold of Birektt via his website ages ago to order some pants but no answer to emails or nowt...you'd think he'd get his act together if he's the importer

Ok , to change from the bitchy topic, im curious and interested in the modified SY of Nigel Birketts. I know one of the reasons for modding the centre box as a few of us have blown em open. But i want to know the details. What has he done and why?? What are all the mods that have been done, why have they been done and most importantly where is their a pic of the bike.?? (a good close up??) As im in the market for a new SY i want to know all and what they may be offering!! Thanks chaps

I am having difficulty starting my 04 SY250 , it only seems to start with full throttle and choke , this is only from cold the rest of the time it starts perfect , i'm not giving it big handfulls of throttle or anything else daft , not that i can think of anyway any ideas ???

I have a tys125f (sy125f) and when i brought it had a partial wiring loom.I need a rear brake light so i decided to fit it and add the extra wiring.I also wired up the horn,kill switch and ignition and brake light from hand and foot.All was well and all worked untill i revved the bike up and it popped the bulb.tried another and on tickover ok but when revved it popped.I guess it's that alloy finned thing i left out because i didn't know where it went ! ( i know rectifiyer / regulator i think ) i cannot get any info on wiring it in ( sh620b-12 ) is the number on it. If i am looking at the front of this with fins at the top the plug at the bottom shows top left a black wire…

Hi, Just intrested in knowing are there any weak sports on the sy125? Are they a very good bike? What sort of money can you pick one up for? James

Whilst perusing the scorpa france website , i found a picture of a rather tasty looking SY250 being hoisted into the air by its very manly owner wearing a rather dodgy 'tache .....hmmm , upon further inspecton it is an english bike .......

Prior to buying my Scorpa, I did a pretty good read of this forum. Somebody posted a link to the Scorpa motor shop manual. Downloaded it, thanks for the link. For some reason the Scorpa web site only opens to the title page; clicking on the logo does nothing, there seems to be no icon or path to get into the contents of the site beyond the logo. Given all of that, is there a chassis manual on line? If so, does anybody have the link? Also, somebody mentioned an NGK plug, but it seems to be discountinued or at least a special order. What readily available NGK plug are you all running? Thanks. BTW I went through the bike and greased the swingarm and head bearings, t…
