0.5 to 9kg? i'll keep an eye on that. thanks.

[Sharpey]

Don't quote me on that... i think its around there... need to check my haynes manual. It's worth getting the right range though... as torque wrenches tend to be inaccurate at the extremity of their range

:: GRAB IT. good price for a px200. owner's a good rider. ::

[Sharpey]

Looks good enough

 

You can ask for an appraisal to be done at Tong Aik for a small fee.

[Sharpey]

oh, and Mad fox... Don't mind asking the owner where he got his smoke black indicator lenses? Thanks

Thanks!

hi, after purchasing the vespa, i went to tong aik to fix the bike. arghh, the aunt scolded me. she say too expensive, cause the brake not working, and a few cracks. and the head light need to change....iu unit is cracked. but i already buy it at 1.5k.

so now i am fixing the bike. any 1 can recomend me any good workshop. cheap. student here. cant afford. i think i need to service the engine oil. fix the sit nut and check the condition of the bike. anyway, is it only tong aik charge for labour just to fix the nut. they wanted to charge 15 dollar for it. and another 15 dollar to fix a rack that the seller give me. can recommend a place where i can fix the seat nut and check enigine oil where is cheap. like dun need to charge labour for every thing they do?

 

regards to the smoke signal light, he say the previous owners change it.

[Sharpey]

hey mad fox... Try all the shops on the wiki till you find one you like. All have their strengths and weaknesses.

 

I frequent Tong AIk, but that's just me. Hendra is a popular alternative choice (note that address on wiki may need updating)

 

You could of course just get your hands dirty... changing the oil and tigthening nuts isn't exactly diffuclt... plenty of help online.

[mad_fox]

how abt ah ju. haha. is he good. and also tong aik. service 32.50. what is it. should i do it?

[Terrible One]

Anyone got pictures of some nicely done up T5?

[maes2ro]

:: for recommendations, go check out roda dua @ horne road (literally behind jalan besar stadium, the only workshop that opens from 5pm till 4am)

or

hendra's (@ paya lebar industrial estate, normal working hours)...

you can't miss both shops... lots of vespas outside. ::

[whazzup]

as for me, hendra @paya lebar. nice and honest guy. good luck wif it.

[mad_fox]

hendra open today, and also any 1 recommed ah jo, can tell me how is it there.

[maes2ro]

:: dunno much. can't say much. but yes, i agree with whazzup, hendra's would be one of the top choices. ::

[whazzup]

yah , he is easy to interact with too.. down to earth on my personal opinion.

[Sharpey]

You should ask the shop what you get in a $32.50 service... we may not be accurate...

 

In general this will include piston + cylinder head cleaning, carb flushing, new gear oil and a new spark plug... But ask to be sure...

 

Worth doing every few thousand kms... esp since the vespa doesn't have an oil filter, gear oil needs changing more frequently.

[Ruzaini]

32.50 includes

carb flushing..

new gear oil..

clean carbon off the piston top..

DOES NOT include spark plug..

hope this helps..

hi, the worst ting has happen. i lost my bike key and sit key. today when i reach lim ah boy using my phantom, i realise my vespa key is missing. cause i went there to duplicate. i went home and cant find it. tried to go back to the place i being. and cant find it. any 1 can help me what to do. and how much is the damage going to be. arrrgh. money money again.

[Sharpey]

Not expensive to change... but you'll need to get the scoot to a mechanic.

[Sharpey]

If you can get the handle free I can tell you how to start the engine without the key... but in a pm lah!
