February 11, 20179 yr Since i´m looking into getting one of the 125 Scorpas (the older models with the 38mm paioli forks). I´d like to know if the forks are adjustable in compression and rebound damping, aswell as preload. I can´t find anything about those ones. So can anybody help me out? Also are there any ´special´ things about the suspension on these bikes I should know about?
February 11, 20179 yr Hello there. if you pick up one with higher spec paiolis there is compression/rebound adjustment as well as spring preload on the other leg. There doesn't seem to be any way of telling what forks a particular bike will be fitted with. Suspension is pretty basic and hardy ;rear shock has a basic damping adjuster. No many around and the 163 is the one to have. Ground clearance is the biggest issue with these bikes. Happy hunting.
February 11, 20179 yr Author Ok. Thank you İ know about the 163 but since İ will ride it on the road quite a bit and my licence only allows a max cc of 125cc the scorpa would be ideal. If i had the choice İ would go for a 125 or 200 cc gasgas. But as İ said İ need something that İ can ride on the road... Edited February 12, 20179 yr by crashpotato
February 12, 20179 yr If you buy the blue capped forks bike they are none adjustable.I have a ty125 this is my 2nd and i fitted a 150 kit,first 1 had stolen.If it mainly for road work you could always try to use thicker oil, 300cc . The rear is adjustable.for fast or slow rebound. or get a pr of sy250 forks the later model the better.
