janwillem Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Welcome to the club Great looking bike! I use a 100+ octane fuel for both my Scorpa and my Fantic, both machine seem to run smoother on this kind of stuff. For the Scorpa i use a premix off 100 to 1 as i don't let it work that hard, i'm not riding in WTC events. This means 50 ml of oil on 5 litres off fuel. The filter should be oiled as it is a so called whet filter. On the Scorpa you should clean it regularly, it gets dirty. i clean my filter at least every month and i ride a second bike besides my Scopra! Enjoy jour ride next saturday.

dynamics Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Now that is nice. This is one of the bikes on my short-list for when I buy my first Trials bike. Unfortunately that won't be until early 2015. Enjoy Buddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tystys Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Hi love the bike what year is it, it looks like an 2003 as I have just bought one too. I have never had a trials bike before and the scorpa seems awesome lovely and smooth at the bottom end and not aggressive on and off the throttle for a newb like me. Yours looks like its had a very easy life I had to weld my centre box, grind the engine number boss, clean the carb and air filter and give it a good clean and polish. Enjoy it you wont regret it.

breagh Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 A wee tip it's important to keep as much mud etc away from the filter intake as possible. The design is not perfect. This means a bit duct tape here and there and some sealing round the top of the airbox. Get a look at some others to see what there owners have done. Never run mine at 100.1,more like 70/80 ml per 5l. Only other thing keep an eye on the fan switch,they always give bother.. Great bikes.

ripptrials Posted April 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 First ride done and it was superb, suspension feels way better than my rev 3, really smooth on power but plenty if needed, loads of control at low revs. very impressed to say its a 12 year old bike.
