Well, you can add another port in theory... In practise, you're not going to find anyone experienced enough at doing this to do it for you in Singapore... Alloy Welding is a bit tricky...

 

You're better off selling your sprint and buying a Sprint V... Again, the Sprint V doesn't command a higher market price than a 2port sprint... So just swap...

OR, get a new PX150EFL (late model gearbox) engine and put it in... Not the cheap option... but performance wise its the way to go... You'll need to go through LTA red tape if you want this option... but it is possible and has been done before. Mr. Wee at Tong Aik will be able to advise...

 

I can't tell you if a Sito+ is going to be better than a Tong pipe... I haven't tried one... All folks overseas who use them say that they're great for low end grunt... but that they don't last as long as stock pipes do (thinner metal)...

 

If I'm not wrong you can get a sito plus made to fit a Sprint (eg there's a diff model of Sito+ available for it... If not, its just a question of grinding off part of the bracket on the exhaust... no big deal.... However, what you will find with a Stio+ on a Sprint is that it sits lower, meaning you might more easily ground it on hard turns... Still, this hasn't been a deterrent for loads of folks in other countires.... If you're Mandarin is any good, I know that the Vespa Shop in Taiwan (google vespa club Taiwan "VCOT") sells them... Shipping would obviously be cheaper from there than it would be from Europe... Mind you, with the weak US Dollar at the moment, buying from the States may well be worth it....

 

 

hrmm ok thanks

Hey Mothercat.... you wont have any joy buying a Haynes in SG for a Vespa... Your best bet is either Amazon.com, or one of the online scooter shops...

 

Where are you planning to do this restoration?

 

Its a lot more work than you'd ever imagine... (I know, I spent 6 months using one of the 3 bedrooms in my house as a paint shop... that didn't make me very popular with the wife )

 

hahaha well yes i could understand why i expect alot of re-work that need to be done, just thought it would be fun to DIY instead. but that's a bummer, that they dun have the manual here in SG. hmm mayb i could place an order at borders or something...

 

i plan to do the restoration at my balcony, just change/fix up all parts, re-wiring, everything EXCEPT resraying it. planning to get it professionally done.

 

wish me luck guys! will start posting my progress, when i finally begin restoring it after securing all materials necessary hur hur hur

:: shouldnt be that pricy... havent done it up before... but to wrap a full helmet costs arnd 30-40 bucks... so i guess wrapping of the seat should cost little more~ ::

Hi,

 

does anyone know how to maintain the brown leather seat...???

Apparently I heard when it rain and the seat get wet, the color do fade and stain the pants.

 

Any GTV owner who can give some tips will be appreciated.

 

Thanks

[narcx]

use leather cleaner/oils. it protects the leather from drying and cracking/tearing. also prevents it from soaking up too much water. best protection is to cover your seat whenever its in the open using a waterproof seat cover or bike cover.

[grin_gin]

oh,u done it at eugene saddlery..

very nice colour and it suits ur bike
