mik60ish Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 I bought my SY 175F new in March of this year, and it has always smoked on starting. It came with a manual clutch as they were having problems with the Magura hydraulic clutches, after a letter to Scorpa and a long wait finnally got Magura clutch (please no alternative suggestions very pleased with the Magura) But the bike was still smoking after a lot of emails and phone calls to my dealer. The replacement piston rings arrived next problem getting my bike back to the dealer as I live in the north island of New Zealand and the dealer is in the south island, managed to get it taken to the Taranaki national to which the dealer was riding and bringing other bikes etc so it was returned to his workshop. The problem was the oil ring was snapped on assembly at the factory, they buy the 143cc kits from Poweroll USA. New rings fitted now good as gold all done under warranty from Scorpa, the bike was freighted back to me and my dealer and he even went halves on the freight cost. So a special thanks to Brendon Wadsworth Nelson Malborough trials centre and of course Scorpa. The bike suits me being a 63 year old wobbler and it has improved my riding 100% just point it in the right direction and the suspension just soaks it all up, and good brakes, for the average novice rider a good package, so glad I chose this one over the standard 125cc. I am not knocking the standard one its just that the 175 has all the extra's. I haven't posted before as I didn't want to jeopardize my issue with Scorpa but the bike was still able to ride if a little embarrassing, so now back to my bullet proof Yamaha to give me years of pleasure! Has anyone tried the lightened flywheel mod yet, on the 175 would like to hear if its a success? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
