Zen> PX w/disc, rear shock is kinda 'soft' if you ask me. It might bottoms thus you get that funny noise. No way out unless you get a better shock like (SEBAC), the red with white spring type.

 

Unless.......your rear shock is damaged.

 

I wouldn't "wash" my exhaust but sand off the rust on the exterior and spray paint them with High Temp black paint. This is for the exterior, as for the interior, I would send to a "pro" to de-carbonise it but I wouldn't bother.

 

Hmmm......the clutch cable......I think cep have answered you. I ain't pro so I'll leave it to the mech to do this job. Grease it when you install new would settle the job.

 

So are you meeting us on the 21st?

[Sharpey]

Your shock mounting may be worn out... Its a piece of rubber mounted to the frame that the top of the rear shock mounts to... they do get old and crack... a cheap fix... If that doens't do it, then maybe the shock itself is worn out... keep the old spring and buy a new shock absorber for $40 or so...

[whazzup]

hey peeps... was wondering, beside this kind of exhase pipe (cooper)...is there any other design around? and which is better and recomanded? the smaller the "output" of the pipe, the louder the sound?

[-ResiDue-]

mine is just a cylindrical piece of metal..

it used to be what u have,but when i tong-ed my exhaust at Cik Ali's, he cut out the old copper tip

i'll try to make it on sat hopefully, if i don't over sleep

zen> can PM ma

[Wildswans]

Hhahahahha.....

 

We all just indicate it....

 

But its alright if you're not comfortable

[Wildswans]

So details of 21st outing still not firm?

[Sharpey]

Details still not firm....

 

Shall we try and decide today...

 

Somewhere not to far for Swans to ride... (hope your ankle is better btw)

[etwy]

Swans to suggest?

[lyao]

Sharpey> Thanks for the info will go look around. where is hendra shop located ah... singpost.. at payalebar there? i couldnt find :/ was circling around haha . oh btw! what are the different kind of px150 around? or issit all the same. just rectangle headlight and round headlight? issit possible to change it from rectangle to .. round? thanks for all the help : )

[-ResiDue-]

yup yup..swanzie decide!!

lyao > there is only 1 type of px150, hence the name px150 and yes, you can change from the rectangle headlight to the round one.if u are thinking of changing to the round headlight and wanna sell of your rectangle one,do drop me a line.

[Sharpey]

Um yeah... its there somewhere... I have the address I think.. but can't find it...

 

PX150s are either Indian, Italian, Indonesian with one or two Taiwanese thrown in for good measure... There are subtle diffs other than the headlight...

 

Older Indonesidan ones have a more rounded square headlight... newer indo ones have a round headlight with a bigger instrument panel... there's also the Vespa Excel with its big square headlight....

 

Yes though... you can swop over any PX headlight... they all interchange with a little tweaking (esp to wiring)....

[Sharpey]

Oh but I'm wrong... Cep is right that the PX150 is the PX150... Italian usually, but also some made under licencse in INDO called P150X's....
