Have you dated the bike properly - use the frame numbers .Yamaha YBR125 engine will slot straight into frame - add a 150 conversion . Works just fine . I know I’ve done it a few times ,

Hi there , if you’re looking for any bike spares/bits - I’d recommend scorpasalive on eBay . I’ve dealt with Tony for years - very helpful. He only breaks Sy250’s . enjoy the bike

Try Scorpa’s alive on eBay - Tony has broken them for years and may have one available. I’ve dealt with him for years

Hi there , Nigel Birkett at Birkettmotosport . He was the importer and May still have spares - a very helpful guy , he’ll be a bit tired this week coming - he just finished the SSDT 69 years young 👍

Get decent boots - they’re worth the money - use your heating allowance 😀😀😀👍🏾

Hi spooky , I had a hip replacement 10 years ago - ridden the last 9 of them in trials - albeit at a “b” route level ( omitting certain sections ). I’m now 69 and intending to continue - Dumfries trials are great as are Dalmellington trials . Most clubs cater for old farts like me 😀 most of the issues are in your own head ( lack of confidence ,etc ) .it will take you a while to get bike fit ( recommend cycling is good way to strengthen legs , at our age ).. Ride what you feel comfortable with at all times and have fun - we ain’t going to win any trials all the best

As someone who falls ( no pun intended ) into this category, there is a lot of sense in this article . However , joint damage over many years abusing one’s body , can cause issues with the indicated exercises . Thai chi is a good solution . Cycling outdoors is a good way of maintaining lower body strength ( not necessarily total off road - gravel / track riding ) does help whilst keeping the loads on lower joints acceptable ( relatively pain free ) . That’s my two penny worth ,

Looks like the case hardening has broken down - therefore worn and makes changing gear difficult - replace selector drum ?

A braw looking “ting tong” . Toni will do really well on it . Build quality looks superb - look forward to seeing the production version . 👍🏾

Scorpa 125cc 2t is good bike quite forgiving and easy to kick over ( r/h kickstart )

They call them “ ting tongs “ home created from fertile imaginations and good engineering skills ,ridden regularly up here successfully . Magic idea

What kind of quality control does that suggest about the rest of the build ?

Easiest way to do this - go to EBay - type in Scorpa and then parts - look at listings for frames bikes etc and you can contact Tony that way

Contact Tony at Scorpa’s alive - he only breaks Scorpa’s - good guy to deal with - I have done so for years - advertises on EBay

You need to split the crankcases to access the gears - its an interesting task - use a parts manual to locate how components go together - use the t&mx build sequence - good luck

As you can see - it’s on left of carb with CDI - regulator and capacitor . First two are together and bolted onto a bracket on the carb inlet .

Try the Francis Barnett owners club - they do dating letters for Bultaco’s . They might be able to help

Contact Nigel Birkett

Craig Turpie’s dad is very knowledgeable about 247 Montesas - particularly about setting up brakes 👍🏾

If you wait you’re loosing playtime - choose a bike and go and have fun - there ain’t no pockets in a shroud 👍🏾

Have a look at Sorra - Spanish made and at a good price at. Sorrauk padded knee inserts are supplied

Contact Nigel Birkett - he was the Uk importer of the Ossa - he probably be able to assist you

Go to eBay - look up any Scorpa sy250 spares - look for Scorpa’s alive - Tony is totally sound - just contact him through eBay . He breaks Scorpa’s only . Hope this helps

It acts as a spacer in the back wheel and a support for the chain tubes - similar to the 348/9 . Aye hamish

Trying to bring a 349 back to life ! I’m looking for crankshaft nuts for both ends - can anyone help with obtaining them - tried most places ( I think ) it’s driving me nuts ( pardon the pun ). All advice welcome . Stay safe/ well and sane aye hamish
