lineaway Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) I`ve never been a fan of the TYZ motor ( Though I love Yamaha`s) A very clean (cheap) one would interest me. Just from the forums, even the clean one`s have a crack in the mid-pipe close to the motor. Edited August 13, 2014 by lineaway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Good bike I think, solid, smooth power and reliable with their own issues as lineaway states, yet I could go on one any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the yukon sizzler Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 The yam engine scorpa's remain a popular choice for novice/clubman. The bulletproof motor gives lovely soft controllable power. A long production run means engine spares are plentiful(not that you'll need them). Plastics can be pricey so don't ride like a loon and break them in the first place. Birketts will be your first call for everything. The sy250 remained virtually unchanged throughout its 9 yr production, graphics/colours getting the yearly makeover. The '08 bikes and '09(if you can find one) benefit from the better marrzochi forks rather than the earlier paolli, and also have a better designed bash plate. The only issue to note is the centre exhaust box can rub on the motor, easily rectified (if it hasn't already) by grinding/filing the sharp corner off of the raised engine number boss. I've had 3 sy's and love 'em. My '09's deffo a keeper. Buy and enjoy bondy lad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
