When I replaced my car last year, I got a small van (VW caddy). I use it for everything, doesn

No, I went with the gear oil again. The clutch is good once I have broken it loose in the start of the ride. I usually start the bike in gear when it is warm, there is hardly any clutch dragging.

Thanks Masso. Please let us know how the

Hi all Is there a good online source for scorpa parts?

Hi The scorpa sy250 has a reputation of being reliable. But - the oil sump plug is made of soft material, the head of the plug(bolt) deforms and it (the plug) gets stuck. If you buy the scorpa you should replace the stock plug with a better one, if it has not been done already. Some guys have had problems with the mid-section of the exhaust splitting, easy enough to weld it up again, not a big problem. The clutch gets stuck if the bike is not used for a while, but frees within seconds when you get the hang of it. I have had my

Thanks guys. The clutch on my bike is not really a problem. After a few meters the clutch brakes free, and then works very well. Just like Pete described. I

Hi all My ‘06 SY250 has a little clutch sticking problem at the beginning of a ride. Nothing big, but I could do without it. Has anyone here run ATF type F in their SY250 (Yamaha engine)? Any problems? Leaks? Less or more clutch sticking? I read someplace that Dextron ATF can cause clutch plate swelling…. but I don’t know if it is true.. anyone know?

Hi I have a SY250 longride 2006. Without having done it myself, it is my understanding that the long ride seat/tank bolts directly on. Obviously you remove the stock tank first. The long ride tank holds about 5 liters. The SY250 long-ride model has lower quality forks than the standard SY250. So a standard SY250 with a long ride kit sounds good…

Nice bikes, reliable and user friendly. Check the sump plug, common problem.

Ok. Thanks guys.. Great info.

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:

Strange. Maybe the PO overfilled the engine with oil? As previously said, in my experience you need to remove the sump plug to get the oil out. I tried using the little plug under the shifter (like Masso) but only got out a little, maybe 50-100 ml. I don

Please don

Interesting, thanks. I took a look in google earth. Seems like a really beautiful place. Maybe I will take a look sometimes, when I visit my sister in Vancouver.. Sorry to wander offtopic, I will keep focused from now on..

Masso, I had a 250 Ninja parts engine lying in the garage, so I checked. Unfortunately you have to remove the sump plug. The drain plug under the shifter is not enough. I removed it, and laid the bike on its side for maybe 24 hours. Only got a little oil out… Btw, where is salt-spring island?
