Plastic bits will have a date stamp on them.

I like that.

You might want to think about chain adjustment when measuring

Looking forward to some build pics

I also stripped the exhaust down, de-coked the header pipe, plugged one end of the centre box and similar with the silencer and filled them both with white spirit. I left it to soak for a long while in the hope it would liquify all the oily sludge, it did. Runs a whole lot better. While I had it all apart I filed down the sharp corner that the engine number is stamped on - it pokes a hole through the underside of the middle box if this isn't done.

Thanks for the info.

Tell us how you get on.

My one used to do that too. It would stall in sections at low RPM - the plug would be fouled - black & sooty The mixture screw was too far in and it was running rich, it needed a plug change every two trials. I cleaned out the exhaust after it caught fire internally - the smoke was foul and had the split in the centre box welded up. It seems to be a lot better now. Think I set the mixture screw 1 3/4 turns out, it was way off when I checked.

Great website, I read it with interest.

Do you think an '05 would be different?

What weight oil goes in the forks?

One of the seals on my Scorpa has started weeping, I've tried running a thin feeler gauge around the seal having removed the dust cap seal. Fingers crossed that this will fix it. Doesn't seem too onerous to change them out though.

Very nice, what exactly have you done with it? Any pics of the build up?

Not quite the right bike I think

Might be my eyes but on the second photo it looks as though the rear brake is rod operated.

Pics, this thread needs some.

Yep, mine's just split too!

That link didn't work for me Was this what you fitted? http://boyesen.com/vaf/product/list/?category=%3F&make=70&model=1502&option=1513&year=1488 (the first one - on the left?)

No worries, it all welded up fine. Big thanks the Nick at The Forge, Horsham

Could it be the condenser?

Resurrecting an old post. Just found my centre box has a big crack in it too. runs for about half the width of the box just above the main weld that joins the two halves Anyone got any idea what grade ally they're made from? Cost of a new one incase welding fails? Are new ones still available?

Still watching!
