hi everyone im in need of some help

i have just bought a 2004 scorpa sy250 the chap i got it off didnt know much so i need some info

i want to change the gear oil but dont know the grade ithe last owner gave me a tub of transmition fluid

and i didnt know if that was right

also does anyone know the correct fuel oil mix

thank you i hope someone can help

I use lite gear oil and 700 mil of.

62.5 mixture per 5 litre or 80 - 1 as it were.

I was told by the importer (birketts) to run 70:1 fuel mix and for the gearbox Motul 5100 was the best to use as it helps with the clutch.

there is also lots of info HERE

I've used 80mls of synthetic oil to 5 litres of fuel since new on my 05 SY250 and feel happy with that.

I keep the air cleaner really clean and lightly oiled which helps to keep the carb free from dust as it's a pain to remove.

I've never managed to get more than 400mls of oil in the gearbox. I've tried draining it from the small bolt on the other side and even lying it down but can't get anymore out or in without over filling it.

That said, I change the oil quite often and it always looks in clean condition.

While you have the bike apart, it's also worth checking that the block ontop of the motor has been ground off. If left standard it wears a hole in the centre box of the exhaust.

thanks guys

very helpfull

hopefully i can get it ready to fall off at the weekend
