Had a few Scorps,still do.

I think from 07 on they fitted a heavier flywheel and upped the compression,but I stand to be corrected.

The earlier ones dont seem so punchy even if they have lighter flywheels so i assume it's a better set up.

It will never run like a gas gas at the top end so I would make sure it's in good tune and leave it stock.

Pehaps fresh reeds and a fresh piston if you're feeling flush.

Gearing,4t up at the back sounds too much,1st gear will be redundant,2t would do if you ride a lot of tight stuff.

Great bikes,.

There were two different flywheel weights available as I recall. Lighter one came out in '03 or so and was on the racing version in the US, prolly pound or two difference. Reved out nicely as compared.

Not knowing which you have for sure, I would call the importer whth the diameter of yours, they should be able to tell you.

As far as gearing goes, I never seen any off stock gears, whatever that is. They seemed fine, nice bike.

Take off the flywheel cover and post a pic up, I've had a few SY's and messed about with different weights from 2.4 to 3.1kg, to be honest anything less than 2.7 and I would leave well alone, I would whip yours off weigh it and look at the timing if your wanting more pep, im pretty sure yours will have a 2.7 on.
