benz19 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benz19 Posted January 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
