james111089 Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Are the mods on the tys125f really worth doing? the exhaust mod and pilet jet? will this stop my scorpa from being a bit hard to start from cold and sometimes backfiring/missfiring at low revs?

james111089 Posted June 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 also what is the clutch mod, whats differnt to the std plates. My dad is an enginear so he could mod my standard plates. has anyone got any pics of the modded plates? James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john b Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Had my Scorpa for 18 months now, lots of trials, so an experienced viewpoint. Only mods done:- 1 - Exhaust - definite bottom end improvement (and it sounds sweet) 2 - Bashplate extensions (mine are bolted on, others I have seen are welded) - absolutely invaluable...... 3 - 'Easy Clutch' from the states - got the info off here - 90% as good as a hydraulic (I've tried mine as standard, mine modded and a one with a hydraulic conversion) - cost under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnied Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 5 - The usual - replace the rear mudguard bolts with cable ties (or alternatively, never fall off !) Explaine John B Vinnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james111089 Posted June 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 in the midddle of doing the silencer mod just cant get the ends to go on very well, think the packing mite be stopping it any ideas or certain ways to put it back.

john b Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 James Wrap the packing around tight, and but some insulating tape around (3 or 4 places, spaced down the packing.) The tape just burns away leaving the packing. Its a bit fiddly, just persevere. Vinnie I snapped my TY125 rear mudguard early on. Got is plasic welded, and used cable ties in place of the 2 bolts. Fall off and the cable ties snap, not the mudguard. Carry a few cable ties when you ride. I know the new SY175 guard is more flexible (like the SY250) hope this explains cheers John.

james111089 Posted June 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 how much do ya reckon my bike will be worth in a year?? will it hold its value seeing as i got a good price on it at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marky g Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 James, not a bad price so I guess you won't lose too much in 12 months. Never did no carb mods to mine and it ran fine, great little bike, nice and light too, used to be able to hop mine around all over the place (except in the sections when it counted ) Bottom gear for 95% of the riding.
