December 29, 200916 yr Just bought a piece of history!! I have an 09 Scorpa sy250 2t,factory prepaired and obviously the last one with the Jap engine!! Im led to believe that there were only 30 of these made,i know they are not a revolution of the 08 bike but thought it would be nice to own one :-) Im a Gasgas man normaly and also have a 09 250 Pro,but thought i would give the Scorpa a try as it looks beautiful and built to last,unlike some other makes which turn out to be made of recycled coke cans :-) Benz
December 30, 200916 yr Can you post us a picture before you get it dirty. You might have a piece of real trials history.

Had an hour or two in garage with it tho,stripped it down a little,look REALLY well built,just hope it rides as well as it look?? Anyone had any time on n 09 at all?? Benz
January 2, 201016 yr Author Mods that have been carried out are as follows............. 1) sump guard trimmed on water pump side 2) frame modified so complete rear end,airbox and silencer come off by just removing 4 screws and undo carb rubber 3) thermostate repositioned into water pipe coming from cylinder head 4) beta throttle spring in carb to make throttle lighter 5) larger AJP clutch master cylinder,much lighter than standard 6) carb has been set up by Birkett but as yet i do not know jet sizes 7) reed bloke has been modified,again by Birkett,again i have yet to investigate Benz

January 15, 201016 yr 100% correct :-) so, are you going to tell use how you made the rear end/airbox/mussfer thingy? so.s we can get to the carb faster and easier ??? wood have been nice if the factory designed the bike this way!.....................................masso
