Yesterday my Skipper died on me... had to push quite a distance to the nearest bike shop in Bukit Panjang :weep:

Maybe I was riding it too hard... :cry:

 

If repairs gonna cost more than $200, I might retire her liao :pity:

all you need to do is to open up ur headset and all can be done. meter light uses T5 and headlight uses H4.(if my memory dun fail me) so if u choose LEDs...buy to spec.

 

as for horn, open up the front panel and u'll see it. we had stebel magnum in our old rides. no problem.

 

SK>> ride too hiong liao ah? wat's the prob? belt snap/piston jam?

Geetings to fellow skipper riders. Need some advice from you guys. Recently, i couldn't get my skipper to start and hence its totally dead.. No choice, have to call for towing to bike shop. Now my bike is at this motordiam. To cut the story short, i decided not to let the mech repair my bike because of some reasons. my question is can a get the tow service to tow my bike to another bike shop to have my bike repaired?

Yes, that can be done.. just ask the towing service to pick up ur bike from the other bike shop :smile: But make sure u inform the motordiam that u moving the bike to another shop :smile: I got a feeling its ur carbon motor starter spoil liao.. cost arnd 50 bucks i think :smile: U should try kickstarting :cheeky:

hello juz bought a skipper after stopping a few yrs of riding. so can consider renewbies here. was wondering does we have a skipper club here and do we have a skipper meet up? anyway i have a query to ask on my skipper. as you guys know that it is running on 2t, my 2t pump got leak, i heard that nowadays some of the skippers they directly pour 2t into petrol tank. thus i would like to know do i need to modify the tank in case of piston jam or how much should i pour?

 

anyway thanks mate cheers.

If your 2T tank leak...you can run your Skipper on premix (like those olden days vespas lor)

Ratio is 1:50. Meaning every 1L of petrol, you add 20ml of 2T. Yes. That means every 5L of petrol only needs 100ml of 2T. Unless you like to blast your Skipper... then maybe you put 25-30ml per 1L :smile:

My suggestion is still not to spend too much on your Skipper's outlook. Just focus on usability is more practical :smile:
