tell me about it. my bike's white with white grips. every time i send my bike in to ah joos, i have to scrub like mad to get rid of the oil stains left behind on my bike's body and grips. haha next time, use petrol. saves you the trouble of having to scrub like crazy.

[Chung7x]

yea the trouble with white bikes. =( any suggestions on how to get rid of petrol/2T stains? i overfilled my tank on a couple of occasions and the petrol leaked out onto my side panels.. now it's got some yellowish stain which is damn hard to get rid of =( think might be the esso gold 2T which i'm using

[machine k]

try wd40?

[maz]

mr muscle? bang? degreaser?

[machine k]

haha mr muscle..corny advertisement and brand name

[Chung7x]

machine k - i tried wd40.. still cannot sia. =( i dunno whether it's because the stain has been there for quite sometime. might have gone into the paint or something i dunno. would blackmagic (sp?) work?

afraid u have to live with it..... maybe time for a ne wpaint job. haha

[machine k]

use wd40 and a lot of strength... stains are hard to come off if it's there for some time... that's why it's called stain...

[Chung7x]

arr alright. i'll try again later. btw anyone knows roughly how much is the ultraman handlebar for sprint? 1st and 2nd hand?

[EJatt]

wat is ultraman handle bar??

[Chung7x]

haha.. those small round headlight.. got like a small ultraman "fin" on top.

[maz]

chung7x> that kind of stain cannot remove already. apparently the petrol has eaten into the laquer. the best is u liquid paper over. ur bike white in color rite? haha juz joking.. ultraman handle not sure. ard the 150 to 200 range maybe. juz a rough estimate.

hahaha..nvm i still dun get it.. haha

[machine k]

thought ultraman refers to the BIG round one..small round one called batman?

 

haha all the nicknames..very hard to pinpoint

[vigano]

for those who uses white or cream colour vespa ... pls dun use petrol to clean up the vespa and rubber parts . it will slowly "eat" ur paint ... what i use was quite effective ... i use SOFT 99 .. its 2 in 1 .. cleans and wax ... kinda good ....

[iamcarlos]

guys.. dunno if it's been asked before..

 

but what do they mean when they say an item is in NOS condition?

[iamcarlos]

*sorry... the page loaded slow and i reloaded.*

[iamcarlos]

[-ResiDue-]

chung > the ultraman handlebar is $180 from TA but installation at AJ would cost $240. that's what i heard from a guy who rode a sprint while i was at AJ.

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!!!!!!!!!
