5 titanium valves :blink: and 249cc .. is this gonna be underpowered. ???

Also, it does look heavy in the engine department so what do you think the weight will come out at ? If it does 70kg or better then it will be impressive.:D

The exhaust system is slick.. really like this idea.. no more burnt legs :D

Adjustable handlebar clamp.

Adjustable footpeg position.

Recycled Aluminum.

Thicker disks, but more slots.

5 valves. I don't even know how many the others are using.

Interesting stuff.

I'm keeping my valve lathe at the ready and wondering what size/angle seat cutters I'll be using in a few years. :blink:

Charlie,

Valve grinders must be just like ties, if you keep them long enough they will come back in style. You may want to figure how to how to hook a computer to your valve lathe.

You shouldn't need them with a Yamaha...... :blink:

I ran a YZ426 for nearly 3 years in H & H and enduros and when we finally stripped it to put a new cam chain in we found it didn't need it. The engine was still like new inside. Couldn't fault the quality of it.

Being a Yam fan for many years it's going to be hard to resist this Scorpa, especially if Mr Birkett is involved in it's development. Should be one heck of a clubman bike.

Yeah the valves should be more than ok in a trial bike, I only mentioned them before cos in the 250F MXer the engines take a LOT of abuse and some people do neglect the valves when they should be checked regularly. The results can be erm very costly :blink:

Adjusting the valve clearance will be a chore. Shim and bucket design and all. Got the same set up on my Kaw trail bike. Yamaha seems to be winning the valve system reliability war at the moment. It's a nice looking bike.

I realize the shim and bucket thing is superior, but wouldn't something adjustable (the old adjuster and stop nut, or something on an eccentric that can be adjusted) be a little more kind for us 2-stroke folk?

What do you do if you don't have a local dealer?

Take 5 measurements, place an order and wait for your shims to show up in the mail just so you can do a bit of routine maintenance?

I'm not slagging, Yam or Scorpa...I'm sure they'll all be the same.

Pretty much.... yeah! :blink::D

Seems like quite a bit of discussion is going on about the top end maintenance and durability of the Yamaha engines. Since 2001 I have owned three 250 Yamaha 4-strokes, a 2001 and 2003 YZ250F and a 2005 WR. I still have the 2005 WR250F. The 2001 I put the most time on, riding 28 Enduros and about 20 Hare Scrambles, not to mention practice time. Each of the hare scrambles are 2 hours and the Enduros are as long as five hours. Even off road on an MX bike, the preferred throttle setting is
