haha just mentioning it... i offered to help ah huat anyway.

 

But the weather last nite was cold.... i was riding back from thomson area. Sheesh. cold cold. Guess the rounding in the evening was postponed due to the rain~

[fluffpuff]

haha so ah huat is the one who owes you one ya la crazy weather yesterday raining intermittently almost throughout the night so the rounding was postponed after all eh. what a let down thanks to the weather

[vintdane]

on behalf of aziz i wud like say we had a ride ytdy depite of the bad weather..

it is'nt tat bad, only the occasion drizzle here n there..

wen we wanna ride, nothing can dampen our spirits! hehehe

 

Sharpey> thanks for the info yea..! i'll go n check it out..

however wen the situation got worse ytdy, i went aheand to change my sparkplug, and the spurts were gone.. i noticed tat the sparkplug was unusually dirty despite of jus using it for 2weeks. i tink it mite b the brand of petrol im currently using. i used to topup wif caltex or shell and nothing like the prob mentioned exist.

the petrol im using now is mobil.

well it mite b the petrol, im not too sure yet.. maybe i'll change back to caltex/shell and see wat happens.

 

(no offence to mobil, while the petrol mite b gd for cars, it mite not b suitable for vespas) peace!

[Sharpey]

doubtfull about the petrol.... it really is all the same (minus colouring etc)... A dirty (black, either dry or oily) is again classic of an over rich mixture.

[Sharpey]

Or... it could be due to just having an old sparkplug... see how the new one runs before letting rip on the carb settings.

Hi all this is goin to be long but hope u guys could bear with me n read on. I've been riding my Scoot PX model for bout a year come this Feb. Found this forum helpful with lots of info for newbies n also all the old school Scooterist out there . I actually bought my 1st Scoot frm a bro here n its also my very 1st personal transport! I love it to bits! Eventhough the outlook wasnt that great but PX engine is quite gd.

 

My 1st mod was actually changing frm stock to a Pinasco Alloy Block n later to a 3-legged fork(thinkin maybe wanna change later to look like a Super model) but still using stock 20/20 carbs i could only hit 85km/h max! Then i actually took leave frm my job to work on the outlook like remove old paint, sandpaper n the sprayin part itself all done in bout 4 days but the lacquer part wasnt that great .

 

Unfortunately mid last week i got into an accident n to make a long story short i hit a wall straight on!! How bad was it? My mud guard actually folded in n my handle cant even move n the impact was so hard that the glove box on my px has a dent on it probably cos by my knees impact but fortunately i'm ok only my Scoot is in pretty bad shape . U guys might not believe this but i actually said sorry to my Scoot after the accident.

 

Called Ah Joo(thanx Ah Joo u the man!) for help as the car has ran away n i got no witness i cant claim sh*t!! Mine is Mitsui 3d party anybody can help me on this?

 

Anyway went there last thu n talk to Aj bout wat i could do regarding the changes i wanna made to My 'Baby' bout time anyway i make her look good n refresh!!

Decided on this:-

1)24/24 carbs

2)Bigger clutch plates PX200 ones i think(Cosa ones better?)

3)Floorstrips

4)new rubber for the side panels

5)New brake pedals

6)A fresh paint work!

7)Number Plates

8)BITUBO Shocks!!

 

Was deciding whether wanted to make it look classic but i think my 'Baby' deserves to be an original PX herself

 

Hopes u bros n sistas out there could advise me on the claim part if not boh pian have to come out of my own pocket

 

Thanks everybody for reading n be safe guys could never know wat could happen even if u r a safety rider kind........

 

P.S Wanted to change to disc brake but it would cos $1300!!!!!!!!!

[-ResiDue-]

ritz > $1300 extra or $1300 total????

Aziz > thanks to Mr Ah Joo (Jin Cheng Motor) for the big sponsor in for the event, without his support, Mods Mayday wouldnt be happening. Appreciate it a lot

 

Good Afternoon Fellow Scooterists!

 

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

 

And yes Vigano, Ah Joo did mention to me about his sponsorship and he was glad he could help out.

Hey Ritz...Sorry to hear of your accident!

Thankfully you are fine.

Phew! Long lists of questions huh..Hehe!

To get straight to the point...Firstly, only you can decide on the looks of your "baby".

If your ride is a PX, make it look the part. Beautify and Upgrade it. That's my suggestion.

If you are really adamant about wanting the vintage look, then get the 'real' thing.

The truth is, there will be riders out there that will be passing comments that your 'baby' is actually a PX. It only looks like a super. Even your license plate will be a dead giveaway.

And no amount of money spent on your baby will make it an original vintage.

 

As for your shocks, Bitubo is definitely better then the 3 legged fork. No comparison.

There's also other 'branded' shocks in the market which you could consider like Sebac..etc etc.

You mentioned of your desire to change your scoot to disc brakes?

Do you really need to? It's very costly and if it's going to burn hole in your pocket..scrap the idea, bro.

(http://www.claussstudio.com)

 

Lastly, On paper...any bike thats more then 10years of age has NO value! So there's really no point in trying to get a second party insurance coverage.

Sad but that's how things are here. No paper value for my "baby" too.

On pricing of services, etc. at Ah Joo's? To be fair, the boys really don't get involved.

We simply run the club and not the shop. But my suggestion is to always to scout around and compare prices.

Agreed with Aziz... except for the fact that the disc brake conversion will be too costly....

 

Figure it this way... you can spend 600 on bitubo shocks (to do so, you'll need to get a stock 2leg fork anyway)... you don't really need bitubo shocks.... Claussstudios will firm up your ride for under 150 including shipping.... A new sebac front and rear for about 80 each (stock for similar, but specify the discbrake front shock type... much smoother)

 

Or you can spend something like 700 (maybe more if you need to import) on a disc brake conversion kit... see other thread for the fruits of my searching.

 

 

I can't preach enough about the SUPERLATIVE braking capability of a disc brake Vespa in comparison to a drum brake model... there is no comparsion. There's no point being able to go fast if you can't bloody stop!

And by fast, I don't mean 120km/h... I mean 60km/h in traffic... a place where responsive braking makes your ride soooooo much safer. I can't list the number of times that my disc brake has saved my scooter (and pesky cars infront) from damage....

 

Save up.... it is worth it.
