Gears And Throttle Problems

Featured Replies

Hi all,

I recently bought my first bike, a Scorpa SY 250 (2006)and i am loving it!! Even though ive spent most of the time on the floor!!

Ive noticed that when changing into 2nd gear it doest seem as 'smooth' as it should be and it almost grinds and im just wondering what can cause this, its got oil and ive not had it long so ive not changed the oli as it was serviced before i bought it.

Also ive noticed the throttle is sticking, how can i fix this??

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks in advance

I would drop the oil, it's a very cheap and easy job. As for the throttle, it could be pushed too far on the bars, or it could be simply worn and full of muck, I would strip and clean it first or maybe just buy a new one.

Unless i was 100% sure its been serviced, the first thing i would do is treat it to a full service,,

check the condition of the cable, and the throttle tube housing at the bars, (making sure its not been over tightend) and that its not full of grit,

check the routing of the cable around the elbow going in to the carb and slide,, hope you sort it bud
